One of the most reliable rabble-rouser numbers of the Benny Goodman Orchestra in its full flower, the Louis Prima composition “Sing, Sing, Sing” became an anthem of the Swing era. For my generation, the two-disc album of the 1938 Carnegie Hall jazz concert was among our first LPs, and the luxuriously extended version of “Sing, Sing, Sing” was always the highlight: wherever else you might put down the needle, you always listened to that one as well. In the 1937 Hollywood Hotel version that was preserved on film, the solos are naturally nothing like as long. The beautiful piano solo by Jess Stacey is missing altogether, and the Harry James trumpet solo lacks the soaring bite of the concert version, in which James sounded as if he was sending an authoritative love-call to Betty Grable: no wonder she married him.
