Musicmasters and Yale University have released a 50-minute Benny Goodman album that includes recordings of performances previously unavailable to collectors. The recordings are from 400 tapes that the clarinetist bequeathed to Yale before his death two years ago. The listener hears “a more spontaneous, relaxed Benny Goodman” on the new release than on many of his other recordings, said Yale music professor Harold E. Samuel. Included is a swinging version of “Sweet Georgia Brown” that previously was heard only by diners at the famed Rainbow Grill in New York’s Rockefeller Center in June, 1967.
