Benny Goodman´s Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert

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.

“writing about music is like dancing about architecture” I think this quote comes from a Jazz Musician, although I will accept Frank Zappa.
Thank you for this book, I will attempt to read it, but this kind of post-modern criticism usually annoys me.
I first heard this concert on Vinyl in 1976. I can honestly say it made me look at swing jazz in a whole new way.
It would be nice if you could also post the concert.
I will look again and see if it is on the site.
Thank you again.
