THE COMPLETE LEGENDARY 1938 CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT

Description:
2 CD set. Bonus tracks *. The concert in its entirety plus, as a bonus, the complete Benny Goodman January 18, 1938 radio broadcast, recorded only two days after the great event. Carnegie Hall was one of the main American stages for classical music since shortly after its inception. It was also one of the first main American stages to open its doors to black artists. Although it was more of a march than a jazz band in the way we look at it now, Carnegie Hall presented a concert by the Afro American formation James Reese Europe and his Clef Orchestra, labelled as a "Concert of Negro Music" as early as May 2, 1912. However, the real breakthrough occurred in 1938, when jazz –a style which many considered inferior to classical music– gained mainstream recognition as a result of the January 16 Carnegie Hall concert featuring Benny Goodman with his orchestra, trio, quartet and guests. It was also one of the first interracial concerts on an important stage, for among the guests were Count Basie and his orchestra with Lester Young, and Goodman's small group included Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton. Our edition presents Benny Goodman's complete Carnegie Hall concert, including two tunes "Sometimes I'm Happy" and "If Dreams Come True" left off of the original LP release and the complete jam session on "Honeysuckle Rose", which had been originally released in an edited form. As a bonus, the current edition also includes the complete "Camel Caravan" broadcast recorded on January 18, 1938, two days after the Carnegie Hall Concert while the impact of that event was still fresh in the minds of the musicians.
