Annotation

Notes

This is the reference collection for serious Goodman completists.
It contains the first Goodman period (mainly Vocalion and Brunswick stuff, small formations). The second part contains big band stuff.
Note the two "Goodman only" tracks are in fact from a trio, though almost a decade before the classic Goodman Trio emerged.
