Benny Goodman Today

Compilation album by Benny Goodman
Released	1970
Genre	Jazz
Label	London

Benny Goodman Today is a jazz copilation album by Benny Goodman. It was released in 1970 and features big band and small group selections recorded during a concert in Stockholm, Sweden. It was released in the United States on the London Records label (London SPB 21, 2-LP set)^[1] as a "phase 4 stereo spectacular".

The album, as issued, has a few shortcomings, among them a failure to list the band personnel, despite a double gatefold album with an included booklet full of band photos. And some of the band arrangements are new, and rather uncharacteristic of Goodman's classic style.
