The Complete RCA Victor Small Group Recordings is a 1997 compilation 3-CD set of sessions led by jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, and recorded for the RCA Victor label between 1935 and 1939. 　　Writing for Allmusic Scott Yanow called it "Classic music with many exciting moments from the King of Swing and his famous sidemen". JazzTimes writer Jack Sohmer stated "From a strictly musical point of view, the importance of these recordings cannot be overestimated. Goodman was then, as he is still now remembered, the prevailing master of swinging, inventive, hot clarinet and he had found ideal partners from the beginning". The Penguin Guide to Jazz identified the compilation as part of its suggested "Core Collection" of essential jazz albums .
