RELEASE INFORMATION
Acclaimed bandleader, composer and clarinetist Oran Etkin pays a distinctly modern homage to the “King of Swing”, Benny Goodman. 'What's New?' at once celebrates two sides of Benny Goodman: the music of his big band that launched the Swing Era and of his quartet that became the first mainstream racially-integrated band. Described as “a composer of eminent individuality” by his mentor Yusef Lateef, Etkin taps into both Benny Goodman the bandleader and clarinetist on this phenomenal tribute recording.
