This LP contains two complete radio programs from the popular series of
Benny Goodman Camel Caravans. Given that nothing has been cut out, one has to sit through several not-so-cute references to the sponsor, a few novelties and some dated verbal chatter. Composer/singer
Johnny Mercer gets in the way a few times but there are strong moments from this version of the
Benny Goodman Orchestra, particularly the solos of pianist
Jess Stacy (both with the big band and in the trio and quartet) and the leader;
Martha Tilton's vocals are also pleasing.
