AMG Review of Camel Caravan, Vol. 1

All Music Guide

Contained on this LP are two complete broadcasts by the Benny Goodman Orchestra from August 1937. The chatter, short commercials and novelty numbers get a bit tiring by the second time around but there are enough musical highpoints (particularly the Benny Goodman Quartet's "Shine" and a version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" performed just three days after the original studio recording) to make this a worthwhile acquisition.
