Whether it was 8 Track, vinyl, cassette, CD, or from iTunes doesn't matter. What was the first album you ever purchased with your own money? Here's mine. Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit in the 70's.... Bob Seger owned this town. I still listen to this album today.  Which town were you from? I came from Rochester (now Rochester Hills), and they were in a farm house about 2 miles north and a mile or so east of us. I believe Madonna was also from our little town, not that anyone cares…

There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions. |

Are you familiar with the name John Hammond? Massively, but only through Goodman. I started in this business when I started collecting those records and needed something to play them on. And biographies of Goodman were pretty good at describing Hammond's influence on 20th century jazz. He was HUGE, though often self-serving. The "Benny Goodman Story" was so bad that his daughters would occasionally play it and laugh at it. Steve Allen might understand jazz, but he didn't put enough time into his role to know when to move his fingers when imitating Goodman. The sound track for that is damn good, too -- real hifi, with actual musicians from Goodman's bands, led by Goodman. One hilarious part is the solos where musicians are shown as though in a cameo, playing in what is obviously NOT the same place where the rest of the band is.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Steve Allen played piano and composed a huge number of songs (about 8500), but I would agree- it doesn't take long to make noise with a woodwind and learn a bunch of arpeggios, if not the actual notes. I'm not saying it's an easy instrument, though. Locations- because, they were probably counting on people in 1956 to not notice.
