In Concert - The Last Performance (2007)

De cover is een beetje misleidend, want daarop staat een foto uit medio de jaren veertig. De opnamen van dit concert stammen echter uit 1981, toen de invloedrijke klarinettist 72 jaar oud was, maar nog immer een virtuoos speler. Vijf jaar later zou hij sterven aan een hartaanval. "The information on the sleeve is somewhat limited and not quite relevant to this DVD, but the contents and music are just great. The concert takes place in a small jazzclub called "Jazzhus Slukefter" in Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, in 1981. In "After you've gone", it's a joy to listen to Benny Goodman interplaying with violinist Svend Asmussen. Later the fine trumpetplayer Jimmy Maxwell joins in a fiery version of "Airmail Special", and it's amazing to hear the drive that Goodman is still able to perform in his solos. Whether this was really Goodman's last performance I don't know - I doubt it, even though he died in 1986 - but for any Goodman fan it's a MUST." (Amazon)
