A Tribute To Benny Goodman Wojciechowski, Gdansk Academy Of Music Chamber Orchestra, Borowicz

The present release is a special album, inspired by crossing boundaries, looking for the universal music language, and referring to the notion of pure beauty. The clarinet plays the leading part here. The recording was dedicated to the memory of Benny Goodman, a legend of the American jazz and the ‘King of Swing’, who elevated clarinet playing to the highest ranks in his art. Similarly to Elvis Presley, Goodman significantly contributed to the popularization of ‘black’ music among the white audience in the times of racial segregation, proving that the art and beauty of music are able to cross the boundaries between people dictated by disdain and prejudices.
