This release presents, for the first time on CD, Benny Goodman album devoted to the compositions of Rodgers & Hart's The Sound of Music (MGM SE3810). 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 Coltrane's celebrated rendition. A live set by the exact same tentet recorded a week earlier (playing one of the tunes from The Sound of Music) has been added as a bonus.

Personnel: Benny Goodman, clarinet; Jack Sheldon, trumpet; Flip  Phillips, tenor sax; Bill Harris, tromboe; Jerry Dodgion, alto sax, flute; Red Norvo, vibes; Gene Di Novi, piano; Jimmy Wyble, guitar; Red Wootten, bass; John Markham (d).
