I have long believed that Sing Sing Sing is among the greatest instrumental works of the 20th Century. I thought that when my late father first introduced his long-haired son to Big Band and swing music in the 1970s, and I still think so today.
I agree. If I hadn't already told my husband that I don't want a funeral when I die, I would have asked that "Sing Sing Sing" be played at it.
As an aside, my sister, now a professional clarinetist, met her idol Benny Goodman when she was in high school and was utterly unable to speak, she was so awstruck. Her friend had to say, "Mr. Goodman, this is your biggest fan!"
