Benny Goodman - Roll 'Em (1942)

This clip comes from "The Powers Girl" (1942). The arrangement appears to be the Jimmy Mundy revision Benny commissioned in 1941 of the Mary Lou Williams classic, originally immortalized by BG's '37 band. Decimated by the WWII draft, this transitional ensemble was trashed by critics as one of Goodman's weakest...but six decades later, Benny and the band sound awfully good indeed! Bonus: Watch for George Murphy and Dennis Day. ("The Powers Girl" also gave moviegoers a relatively rare opportunity to see Benny sans specs.)

Further down there's a coment that's correct. It reads: No, it's Howard "Hud" Davies on drums. His grandson confirmed this. Krupa had been leading his own band for several years at this point.

I don't think the drummer is either Tough or Krupa. It is more likely Ralph Collier, Alvin Stoller or Howard Davies the drummers Benny was using in this period when he recorded.

My Mom and Dad were the best 'Jitterbugs' in Hudson County NJ.

I grew up with this in my house. My mom and dad would listen and dance. My dad won a jitterbug contest when he was 18. That's 1941.

Yep. It's Krupa.
