Benny Goodman And His Orchestra - This Is New Bewitched
Review by TANIA MIRÓN
Benny Goodman and His Orchestra have released their latest album, This Is New Bewitched, and it is an absolute delight for jazz lovers. The album features a mix of classic jazz tunes and original compositions that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship and Goodman's unparalleled clarinet skills.
The album opens with the upbeat and lively "Let's Dance," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's tight rhythm section, led by drummer Gene Krupa, provides a solid foundation for Goodman's soaring clarinet lines. Tracks like "Sing, Sing, Sing" and "Bugle Call Rag" highlight the band's impressive improvisational abilities and infectious energy.
However, the album is not just about fast-paced swing tunes. The band also shows their versatility with slower, more melodious tracks like "Body and Soul" and "Stompin' at the Savoy." Goodman's tender clarinet playing on these tracks is truly captivating and showcases his ability to convey a range of emotions through his music.

Summary by TANIA MIRÓN
Comments
Like a daisy, I'm awake
With no Bromoseltzer handy
I don't even shake
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I've sinned a lot; I'm mean a lot
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
When he talks, he is seeking
Words to get off his chest
Horizontally speaking
He's at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again
Thank God, I can be oversexed again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
Wise at last, my eyes at last
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more
Burned a lot, but learned a lot
And now you are broke, so you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more
Couldn't eat, was dyspeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my heart's antiseptic
Since you moved out of there
Romance, finis; your chance, finis
Those ants that invaded my pants, finis
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more
