| Benny's Boys – Let's Dance
The name Benny's Boys mirrors the name Benny Goodman gave to the first group to be recorded under his own leadership in 1928. The band's central purpose is to celebrate the music of the "King of Swing" but their repertoire also embraces the swing era as a whole. They play well-known "standards" in a similar style, and others which Benny Goodman's goups helped to make famous. This CD was a finalist in the inaugural National "Bells" Awards in the Classic Jazz category. Benny's Boys have been enthusiastically received at major jazz festivals at Manly, Noosa and Thredbo, and have also featured in many other concert performances.
