The release presents, for the first time ever on CD, Benny Goodmans album devoted to the compositions of Ridgers & Harts The Sound Of Music. Performed by an all star tentet featuring Jack Sheldon, Bill Harris, Flip Phillips and Red Norvo, it contains the first jazz version ever of “My Favorite Things”, taped nearly a year before John Coltranes celebrated rendition. A live set by the exact same tentet recorded a week earlier has been added as a bonus.
