On January 16, 1938 Benny Goodman brought his swing orchestra to
America's venerated home of European classical music, Carnegie
Hall. The resulting concert - widely considered one of the most
significant events in American music history - helped to usher jazz
and swing music into the American cultural mainstream. This
reputation has been perpetuated by Columbia Records' 1950 release
of the concert on LP. Now, in Benny Goodman's Famous 1938 Carnegie
Hall Jazz Concert, jazz scholar and musician Catherine Tackley
provides the first in depth, scholarly study of this seminal
concert and recording. Combining rigorous documentary and archival
research with close analysis of the recording, Tackley strips back
the accumulated layers of interpretation and meaning to assess the
performance in its original context, and explore what the material
has come to represent in its recorded form. Taking a complete view
of the concert, she examines the rich cultural setting in which it
took place, and analyzes the compositions, arrangements and
performances themselves, before discussing the immediate reception,
and lasting legacy and impact of this storied event and album. As
the definitive study of one of the most important recordings of the
twentieth-century, Benny Goodman's Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz
Concert is a must-read for all serious jazz fans, musicians and
scholars.
