Bennie Krueger’s Orchestra – I Want To See My Tennessee, Fox Trot (Yellen-Ager), Brunswick 1924 (USA) NOTE: Bennie KRUEGER (1899 -1967) was a Chicago-based jazz saxophonist and bandleader of the 1920s. He served his apprenticeship between 1920-21 with the famous Original Dixieland Jazz Band, after which he started recording under his own name, mainly for Brunswick and Vocalion. He also recorded under pseudonyms through decade of the 1920s, gaining a high reputation and significant recording rate. He performed mostly in a jazzy-dance style and musicians such as Benny Goodman or Harry Reser played in his orchestra. Unfortunately, Benny’s hot-rhythmical dance genre had not survived the Great Depression and onset of the big-band era. In 1930s Krueger gave up bandleading and worked as musical director in the radio. He was also a songwriter; among his well-known songs are "Sunday" and "I Don't Know Why".
