Murray Middleman - Swing potential

I'm going to plug this MM CD b/c some of his Benny Goodman things are pretty decent.

I've known him very casually for maybe 20 years and he takes out bands locally and elsewhere, I guess.

He could have put a Swing band together (and maybe he did....I dunno) and I guess that PBDA could have used him, but when we talked I got the feeling that the Swing revival phenom was not quite registering with him vibe-wise, as was the case with any number on old line big band leaders.

Anyway - there the link with nice samples. I have the full CD here if anyone has any questions on any of the sides.

What a cover! I think those are his kids. Locals may recognize the Fair Oaks Pharmacy and their restored soda fountain in the background.

Will big bands ever come back?
