King Porter Stomp (reduction)
King Porter Stomp (reduction)
as performed by the Benny Goodman Orchestra
$60
When Benny Goodman hired Fletcher Henderson, he turned the band’s sound upside down, ushering in a new era of popular music. King Porter Stomp is demonstrative of the Henderson arranging style and is truly a Swing Era anthem. Solo space for several instruments, lots of tight ensemble work, and a roaring finish at the perfect dancing tempo makes this a quintessential piece in any big band’s library! Optional guitar part included. Big band version also available.
