About this album

A lively meeting of three jazz greats, this 1956 album revisits repertoire associated with the Benny Goodman story while adding fresh swing and bop energy. Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton and Teddy Wilson had all helped define the Goodman era, and here their seasoned interplay gives standards such as ‘Avalon’, ‘Just You, Just Me’ and ‘I Got Rhythm’ renewed bite. The set reflects the mid-1950s appetite for both classic swing and modern jazz polish, with the players’ individual voices still distinctive even in a nostalgic framework. It stands as a compact reminder of how durable Goodman-era jazz remained in the post-war years.
