"1. This performance was the first time that jazz—hard-swinging, uncompromising jazz—took the stage in a concert hall, helping to further legitimize the genre as an art form.

2. Benny Goodman was worried the show wouldn’t sell because attendees would have to sit instead of dancing, as they were accustomed to doing at his shows. Ultimately, he was proved wrong when the concert sold out weeks in advance!

3. The performance featured differently sized ensembles including big band and a Dixieland quartet.

4. In addition to Goodman’s own big band, the evening featured members of the Count Basie and Duke Ellington orchestras. The members were featured during a jam session on “Honeysuckle Rose.”

5. Benny Goodman didn’t know the concert was recorded. After the performance, Goodman was given one of two copies of the recording, which he put away in his apartment and forgot about. Years later, the recordings were rediscovered, at which point Goodman had them released as The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert. It went on to become one of the best-selling live jazz albums of all time."
