Review by Max Alves

The Benny Goodman Sextet's album "I Surrender Dear Boy Meets Goy" is a jazz masterpiece that showcases the talents of some of the most skilled musicians of the time. The album is a mix of original compositions and covers, all performed with impeccable precision and energy.

The album opens with the swinging "I Surrender Dear," which features Goodman's clarinet soaring over the rhythm section of Lionel Hampton on vibes, Teddy Wilson on piano, Gene Krupa on drums, and Israel Crosby on bass. The sextet's chemistry is evident from the start, with each musician playing off each other to create a cohesive and dynamic sound.

Other standout tracks include the upbeat "Rosetta," which features a lively call-and-response between Goodman and Hampton, and the mellow "Body and Soul," which highlights Wilson's delicate piano playing.

Summary by Max Alves

"I Surrender Dear Boy Meets Goy" is a must-listen for any jazz fan. The Benny Goodman Sextet's virtuosity and tight-knit musicality make for a truly unforgettable listening experience.
