Eu sempre fui apaixonado por uma fase do Jazz chamada Swing.
Não tinha como ouvir e não começar a acompanhar o compasso com o pé. Era
inevitável. Ouvia com muita emoção Benny Goodman, que era para mim um grande
ídolo. É claro que tinham outros que eu também gostava muito e ouvia, mas, sem
dúvida o Benny foi o que mais me marcou nesta fase do Jazz. Atualmente venho
encontrando na Net muitos programas de rádio onde ele se apresentava e ouço
vibrando muito e ainda acompanhando os compassos com o pé. Uma delícia para
meus ouvidos. Coloco para vocês neste post um programa de rádio do Benny que
foi apresentado pela NBC Radio Broadcast em 9 de Abril de 1958, intitulado
Swing Into Spring. E como estamos em plena primavera, coloco aqui minha
homenagem.
