Mel Powell Quotes
"[Benny] Goodman was one of the most incredible players the field has ever known. It wasn't just that his own improvisation was marvelous, the spirit, the verve, the vitality, even humor he played with, but the sheer technical mastery. He played that thing like it was a yo-yo. The only thing comparable from a technical point of view would be [Art] Tatum." - Mel Powell
