Norton). Although the big bands gave the Swing Era its commercial popularity, much of its most inspired music was produced by intimate small group recordings such as the landmark Trio and Quartet performances Benny Goodman recorded for Victor between 1935 and 1939. The Goodman Trio had its birth one night in early June of 1935 when Benny attended a party thrown by xylophonist Red Norvo and his wife, the singer Mildred Bailey, at their home in Forest Hills, New York. Among the other guests were Mildred's cousin, a test pilot who was also an amateur drummer, and the young African-American pianist Teddy Wilson, currently working in Willie Bryant's orchestra. "Knowing how good Benny and Teddy were, and how naturally their styles and ideas met," Mildred explained, "I suggested they join forces with the drummer-cousin for a spot of trio playing." The results were electrifying. Benny had used Teddy on a few record dates the previous year, but now that it was just the two of them supported by unobtrusive wire brushes keeping time on an empty suitcase, it was as if Benny heard what he could really do for the first time. "Teddy and I began to play as though we were thinking with the same brain," is the way he explained it many years later. "It was a real kick." The following month Benny brought Teddy in to the recording studio with his regular drummer Gene Krupa to record the first historic sides by the Benny Goodman Trio. Alternating solos, splitting choruses, interweaving phrases, clearly having a wonderful time with each other as they negotiate the routines worked out in the studio to give shape to their dialogue, Benny and Teddy play with an unruffled elegance and virtuosity that soon brought the term "chamber jazz" into vogue. Benny was especially pleased with how the renditions of After You've Gone and Body and Soul heard here turned out. "I still think of [these two sides] as ranking with the best I ever did," he stated some twenty years later. In the spring of 1936 the Trio was reunited when Teddy came in from New York to take part in an Easter Sunday jazz concert at the Congress Hotel. Benny was so elated and the audience response so enthusiastic that he decided to make the Trio a regular feature of his presentation. This was the first time an African-American musician became a permanent part of an established all-white musical organization. "There had been a lot of interracial record sessions," Teddy reflected some years later. "But this-playing in public with Benny-was a breakthrough. I know of the pressures that were pulling Benny the other way. Guys in the music business were telling him that he'd ruin his career if he hired me." The Trio made a number of recordings during its stay in Chicago, including this spirited performance of China Boy. In August 1936, the Trio expanded to a Quartet when Benny heard the vibraphonist Lionel Hampton playing in a seedy sailor bar in Los Angeles and was so knocked out he unpacked his clarinet and sat in with him. Benny returned the next night with Teddy and Gene, and woke Lionel up the following morning to come down to the studio and record this lovely performance of Moonglow. As Benny said, "It was the story of the Trio all over again-one of those natural things that was just meant to be." The Trio and Quartet remained intact until the winter of 1938, making one great record after another. But that February, after a personal falling out with Benny, Gene Krupa left to start his own orchestra. He was replaced by Dave Tough, who grew up with Benny in Chicago and was in his own subtly unobtrusive way an even better drummer. In March 1939, Teddy Wilson left to start up his own big band, and by now Dave Tough was also gone. With only Lionel remaining from the original Quartet, Benny recorded one final session in April, bringing to a close one of the most creative periods in his long recording career.
