"And the Angels Sing" Benny Goodman and his Orchestra

the times....war was looming in Europe, the folks who were part of the great immigration of the 1900's had entered the 2nd generation in the United States.  Life held promise as all races, and ethnic origins blended in the world of our culture, as expressed in the fabulous music of the 1930's which continued to blossom into the 1940's and early 1950's.  Then we went through the 2nd World War....with another blending of enthnicty and culture, that gave us heroes in all walks of life.



and this....is perhaps the best arrangement of the song of all time
