Oct. 2, 1939: Important day in Jazz History

Author: MarlboroughMan

Today is the 74th anniversary of the first recording session of the Benny Goodman Sextet, featuring Charlie Christian.

In New York, they laid down "Flying Home", "Rose Room", and a great version of "Stardust."

Incidentally, the drummer for the session, Nick Fatool, was also the drummer on the first Artie Shaw Gramercy 5 recordings the following year.
