I absolutely love Goodman's music. At my high school, each year the senior class would take a trip to visit New York City. I was somewhat of a clarinet nerd, so I took along my clarinet. Every chance that I had, I would hide in the hotel room closet and practice y clarinet. There was a copy of The New Yorker magazine in the hotel room and I happened to notice that Benny Goodman was going to be performing at a place called Basin Street East. It looked to me as though his performance would begin at 2 a.m. the next morning. To say that I was excited would be the understatement of the century!
On January 1st, 2021, works that were created in the year 1925 entered the public domain. To celebrate, Trad Jazz Pub is giving away a trad jazz arrangement of "Go Back Where You Stayed Last Night"!
It is a great old tune that was first recorded by Ethel Waters in that year. Here is Ethel's recording:
Our arrangement if for trumpet, clarinet, trombone, and rhythm section. It features the clarinet and trumpet. It can open up for vocals or solos. For a blues feel, a tempo of 98 bpm works well, but it will work at a faster tempo if desired.

I am working on an arrangement of this great tune for a trad jazz ensemble. In the meantime, I recorded this quintet performance of Ethel Water's "Go Back Where You Stayed Last Night".
