My wife has been watching the Ken Burns Jazz series and I've been catching bits and pieces here and there. We both highly recommend it. It is just fascinating! Anyway, I caught an episode the other day about Benny Goodman and decided I had to post this song. I really like the 9 minute video from the 78 RPM record. But it was also fun to see the clip from the movie. Also note the Live at Carnegie Hall is apparently cut off and was actually 12 minutes long.

Extra - I found this old postcard of San Francisco in the 30's, the same era as this song: http://wowidb.org/images/postcard-san_francisco-30s-200dpi.jpg
