Benny Goodman’s 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert *
recreated by Pete Long and his Goodmen
A recreation of the most famous jazz concert of all time: Benny Goodman, the most prominent
bandleader in America, was invited to perform at Carnegie Hall, till then regarded as New York’s
most prestigious classical music location. As well as his own band, he invited guest stars to play.
The bill included such immortals as Lionel Hampton, Harry James, Gene Krupa, Count Basie and,
of course, Goodman himself.The very atmosphere of this legendary concert is recreated by 21 of
Britain’s finest swing players. Leader and saxophonist Pete Long will talk you through it in witty and
urbane style. A former member of Itchy Fingers, he presents ‘Big Band Special’ on Radio 2. As an
arranger he has worked with Paul McCartney, Chrissie Hind, Ray Davies and Marianne Faithful. Like
Benny Goodman, star guest vocalist Joan Viskant is a native of Chicago.
Long’s style of presentation, full of very British whimsy (shades of Tony Hancock) and droll
non-sequitors, brings an added dimension. The Times.
