The Carnegie Hall Concert was January 16th, 1938.
Trumpeters featured: Harry James, Ziggy Elman, Chris Griffin -- one of
the great trumpet sections in jazz history.
Also, Buck Clayton from Basie and Cootie Williams from the Ellington
band and Bobby Hackett all had featured moments, as Goodman extended
an invitation to jazz notables for the first jazz concert ever held at
Carnegie Hall.
The concert will be presented tonight with commentary from 8-11PM EST
at www.wfcr.org.
