The Benny Goodman Orchestra’s Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert

The night Benny Goodman and his Orchestra performed at Carnegie Hall in January 1938 is celebrated in this joyous and complete recreation from Pete Long and his Goodmen.
Everything is there – the exciting Big Band swing, the fiery trio and quartet numbers and the famous grand finale Sing Sing Sing, all played with the utmost authenticity that transports you back to this momentous musical event of 80 years ago.
“Pete Long and his musicians have gone to great lengths to re-create this concert, including original arrangements, period instruments and even the stage seating plan. The result is an evening of fabulous music that swings like crazy, it’s a great night out not to be missed!” Jon Hancock (Author, ‘Benny Goodman – The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert’)
Recommended age: 7+
Duration: approx. 2 hours 30 mins (incl. interval)
