the most important jazz concert in history

” — Goodman’s 1938 concert at New York City’s Carnegie Hall. Goodman’s orchestra was one of the first to perform jazz at the famed music hall, and the performance helped establish the big band sound firmly in the popular consciousness of America. The 1938 concert also featured stars of the Duke Ellington and Count Basie orchestras.

CCM’s Prestige Series performance includes jazz standards

One O’clock Jump

,

Don’t Be That Way

and

Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)

Sing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing)

was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1982.
