• The original two-volume album ‘Benny in Brussels’ (Columbia, first issued on two separate LPs) in its entirety - recorded during a successful one-week presentation of the Benny Goodman band at the Brussels 1958 World Fair.

• Among its highlights are, besides Goodman’s own brilliant playing, the presence of such stars as Jimmy Rushing, Zoot Sims,Taft Jordan and the then unknown pianist Roland Hanna.

• To the original 18 tracks present from both LPs, are added two extra tracks on this edition, which were performed at the same concerts but not included on the original album: Benny’s readings of his classics “Stompin’ at the Savoy” and “Flying Home”. The tracks are perfect closers for a truly amazing set.

• Personnel : Benny Goodman, clarinet; Taft Jordan, John Frosk, Emmet Berry, Billy Hodges, trumpet; Zoot Sims, Seldon Powell, tenor sax; Ernie Mauro, Al Block, alto sax; Gene Allen, baritone sax; Rex Peer, Vernon Brown, Willie Dennis, trombone; Sir Roland Hanna, piano; Billy Bauer, guitar; Arvell Shaw, bass; Roy Burnes, drums; Jimmy Rushing & Ethel Ennis, vocals.

• Digipack Edition - Total time: 78:45 - 20 tracks (including 2 bonus) - Includes 12-page booklet
