Magazine. Zustand: Near Fine. (Vol. 72, No. 3). [nice clean copy with only light external wear]. (B&W photographs, ads) A substantial portion of this issue is devoted to Benny Goodman, with a group of short feature articles about the man and his band, basically a tie-in with the then-current movie THE BENNY GOODMAN STORY, released in February 1956, which starred Steve Allen as Goodman. It's not strictly movie puffery, though, instead presenting a serious and informative look at Goodman's career and musical artistry, and at his band as it was constituted at the time. After a 2-page introductory article, there is a group of shorter (usually single-page) articles focusing on aspects of the film and/or of Goodman and his band: a piece highlighting Joseph Gershenson, who as head of the music department at Universal-International oversaw the recording of the movie's music; another about Henry Mancini, who speaks admiringly of Goodman; an historical discussion of "The Goodman Drummers"; the first part of the transcript of a radio interview with Gene Krupa; an article about how Goodman himself was involved in choosing the songs that were presented on a five-LP set that chronicled his music during his heyday, 1935-1939 (the records themselves are also reviewed); and a brief review of the soundtrack recordings for the film, issued by Decca Records.
