This performance was recorded by Goodman himself during a July 1954 engagement at the Basin Street East jazz club, in New York. This particular sextet had been formed for a tour (which was later canceled) with Louis Armstrong's All Stars in the spring of 1953.
Although all of the band members were superb musicians, the most interesting pairing here is that of Benny and trumpeter Charlie Shavers. A veteran of the Swing era, Shavers had extensive experience with both small groups (John Kirby) and big bands (Tommy Dorsey). This superb session brings us 19 tracks of great music by an otherwise unrecorded Benny Goodman sextet. (Fresh Sound Records)
