Let's Dance - Benny Goodman video free download

THIS PARTICULAR RECORDING WAS AGGRESSIVELY MARKETED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, IN THE 1970'S,  BY TIME-LIFE COMPANY AS A DIGITALLY RE-MASTERED ORIGINAL ARTIST'S PERFORMANCE, CONVERTING THE SOUND FROM ORIGINAL MONO INTO NEW DIGITAL STEREO SOUND.  I know this from personal experience because I purchased this same exact recording myself, in the 1970's.  Digital Re-mastering involves "cleaning up the original artist's sound tracks by making the music fidelity crystal clear as well as using a computer modeling program to convert the sound tracks from "analog mono" into "digital stereo."  Ghost artist's sound tracks are not "inserted" or substituted during this process.  The original artist's work is "preserved" just as it was performed.    These so called "experts" who have commented here, including Art Marshall, have made the mistake of confusing the "digital re-mastering" of the original artist's music with what they perceive to be a "re-recording" of new "ghost artist's" music. The "Let's Dance" recording being discussed here at this thread is "digitally re-mastered" from the original artist's (Benny Goodman) recording. It is NOT a re-recorded piece of media with a "new artist's performance.  Anyone who cannot understand the difference is beyond gaining truth.  And, guess what. when Time Life Company used a photo of Benny Goodman on the jacket cover, they were in essence telling the general public and the entire world that the word "Original" and "Benny Goodman" are synonymous.  When Time Life Company promoted the sales of this music in the 1970's by telling the public that these recordings were "digitally re-mastered original artist's performances, they held out to the public that these recordings were not made by someone like Billy Mays or Abe Most. To suggest that Time Life Company conspired to intentionally lie and  "defraud" the public and the group of "original artists" including Benny Goodman is ridiculous and totally lacking of credibility.

All of those "experts" who claim that the artist playing this clarinet lead in Let's Dance is definitely NOT Benny Goodman, and as proof now say that Time Life Company committed FRAUD by using the original artist's photos and name on the jacket cover with a "ghost" performer please prove your argument with a direct hyper-link or web-site address that positively supports your wild-ass claim.  My own family purchased the Time Life record in question, accepting "as fact" the published statements by Time Life Company in their advertisements that only original artists recordings were used (through digitally re-mastering) in all of the digitally re-mastered records. If Time Life lied to me and my family, they lied to millions of other customers as well. This sounds too outrageous for me to believe. Prove your claim.  If Billy Mays Orchestra was used, digitally re-mastering would have not been necessary in the studio.  Time Life Company would never be stupid enough to have claimed they "digitally re-mastered" an original recording from mono into stereo, and instead just paid an entirely NEW group of performers to play the music.  Do you "experts" see how ridiculous your claim is???  Ninety-nine percent of the posters here have ZERO CLUE about what digitally re-mastering mono into stereo sound involves.  Certainly, it does NOT involve hiring a new orchestra to perform the music.

Profitleads:  This topic involves Lets Dance and Benny Goodman. You are trying to get us to believe that Time Life Company committed FRAUD and "ripped off" several different artists including both Goodman and Shaw???? So then, we can look up the law suit filed by Artie Shaw and assume that since Shaw was screwed over by Time Life Company, so was Benny Goodman???? This is a weak argument.

Profitleads: Billy Mays couldn't play this piece with this command of the keys and control of the upper and lower registers on his best day he was alive and kicking.  You have a "tin" ear.

This rendition is from Time Life's "The Swing Era", STL-345, and were performed by Billy May's band and also by Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orch.  Benny Goodman does not play on these albums.  Artie Shaw was so upset with Time-Life that he even sued them, claiming the the "Artie Shaw" tunes they published constituted a fraud on the public. Shaw lost the case. You can look up the Time-Life discography for yourself.

 To all of those "lost souls" posting here who are still claiming that Benny Goodman is not the artist performing this piece of music,  can't you see the jacket cover at the top of this thread with the photo of Benny Goodman and his name printed in bold letters ????  Seriously, are you BLIND????

This is not Benny Goodman playing for sure. He had a different tone, You can judge by listening closely to the sound of the last tone of the piece. Benny's tone  was more refined so to say, although the clarinet player is good. This solo on this track is the one from the Walter Stuart arrangement from 1934. Read the Article by Art Marshall " Benny Goodman and the classical clarinet repertoire" A little googling will help you find it.

Your uncle plays very well. He doesn't have the BG sound, but that does not mean that he is not good, quite the contrary! Artie SHAW had his own sound. You hear some influence of what would be cool Jazz --but mostly: the beat is FASTER... updated. Did your uncle also play Soprano Sax?

The closest thing you're going to get now is playing L.A. Noire.

Also economically and I would say in comparison to recent events politically.

Scott Tutshen: If your claim that "Uncle Abe Most" is the actual solo clarinetist playing this music were true (and obviously, this is NOT true), Abe would be nothing less than a "COUNTERFEITER OF TRADE-MARK PROTECTED MUSICAL PERFORMANCES." The album jacket for this "Let's Dance" music features Benny Goodman's photo on the cover. And, the vinyl record includes Benny Goodman's name on the label. Maybe you should think twice before implicating your Uncle Abe's involvement in criminal activity?

Benny Goodman was still living when this "digitally re-mastered original copy" was produced and sold by Time-Life Company. The name, music, and photo images of Benny Goodman are "TRADE-MARK PROTECTED." It is OUTRAGEOUS to suggest that Benny Goodman would allow Abe Most to "ghost perform" this piece of music; then slip the "Abe Most" vinyl LP record inside of an album jacket with a photo of Benny Goodman himself on the cover. Counterfeiter Abe Most would have been sued by Goodman and his estate.

This not a RE-CREATION. It is a "digitally re-mastered" copy of the ORIGINAL RECORDIING made by Benny Goodman. The Time-Life Company, the producers, only used original artists performances for this and other Big Band collections. The original sound tracks were "Digitally Re-Mastered" and "fine tuned" for greater fidelity and clarity. And, the "original mono" was changed into "re-mastered stereo." The "Time-Life Company" can and will verify all this as factual information. Call them and learn!!!
