The Carnegie Hall Concert of 1938 of Benny Goodman Big Band

“The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert by Benny Goodman”, Columbia Records catalogue item SL-160, is a two-disc LP of swing and jazz music recorded at Carnegie Hall in New York City on January 16, 1938. First issued in 1950, the landmark recording captured the premiere performance given by a big band in the famed concert venue. The event has been described as "the single most important jazz or popular music concert in history: jazz's 'coming out' party to the world of 'respectable' music." Both critical and public reception of the performances was outstanding.
The title, mastered from preserved acetates, was among jazz's first double albums, first live recordings, and first to sell over a million copies. One of the earliest records of Benny Goodman music issued on the new long-playing format, the concert recording was also sold in a set of nine 45 rpm records in 1950 by Columbia. The subsequent discovery of the aluminum studio masters made from the original recording resulted in several high-quality CD reissues beginning in 1998.

“The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert by Benny Goodman”, nr de catalog Columbia Records SL-160, este un LP de doua discuri cu muzica swing si de jazz inregistrat la Carnegie Hall din New York in 16 ianuarie 1938. Prezentat prima data in 1950, inregistrarea facuta constituie o piatra de hotar a unui moment surprins la performanta data de un big band intr-un loc de concerte celebru. Evenimentul a fost descris ca “singurul cel mai important concert de jazz sau muzica populara in istorie; jazz-ul “iesind” la petrecere in lumea “muzicii respectabile””. Primirea criticii si a publicului a fost remarcabila.
Cu un titlu de moda veche, a fost printre primele albume duble de jazz si inregistrate pe viu si primul care a vandut peste 1 milion de copii. Una din inregistrarile timpurii ale muzicii lui Benny Goodman prezentata pe noul format long-play, inregistrarea concertului a fost fost de asemenea vanduta intr-un set de 9 discuri de 45 rpm in 1950 de catre Columbia. Ulterior descoperirii studiourilor master de aluminiu facute dupa inregistrarile originale, au rezultat mai multe relansari de inalta calitate pe CD incepand cu 1998.
