My dad was a huge fan of big band music and I heard a lot of it when I was young. Benny Goodman was always my favorite, wanted to play clarinet when I was a kid because of him (got stuck playing tuba in the school band instead, but that's another story :P)

And of course later on Charlie Christian joined that band, probably one of the most important (and underrated) guitarists ever.

Thanks for posting this, been a long time since I last saw it. Just awesome playing!
