When Benny passed on I felt very sad.
He and his boys had been doin' it for me since I "found them" in 1950. But he and
the original Swing guys of the 30's and
40's gave us music that (if you dig it and you have a pulse) just continues to lay me out. I'm old and in the way now but you put that music near me anytime and the bottom of my shoes are wearin' out
what's ever underneath. One amazing thing about Benny, no matter who played with him the sound was the same. He elevated their game.

Great to hear these guys swinging and having fun together 30 - 40 years after they first got together with the original BG trio and quartet. Adding George Duvivier on bass made it even better. It's also noteworthy that presenting an integrated band in the thirties was unheard of and groundbreaking.

George Duvivier remains unnamed - one of jazz's finest bass players.
