Mort Dixon, the lyricist, joined with composer Harry Warren in 1928 creating the song "Nagasaki" which enchanted listeners and performers alike. The Benny Goodman Quartet starts off at a frantic pace, with all of the ornaments delightfully spun out in an effortless flow. Hamp contributes some of the most dazzling performances on this one, matches with Goodman and Teddy Wilson. It's a free wheeling rendition with a "good evening, friends' ending that tops off a sparkling experience.
