Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall 1938

[bafranko]

I did some research, but it seems that there are only short clips, which are then mounted in various documentaries

[Bitson69]

Hi all jazz fans :)

Is there someone who knows if there is a full video of this famous concert ? It was filmed, it must have something, no ?

[snowhite357]

THE SONG IS CALL SING SING SING

[LazyRokkstar]

damn... 

[NanBayKid1]

I still treasure this album. I will hang on to it for the rest of my days

[LiliumNightShade]

Lets Dance was his theme song and was taken from a classical song as was popular then. Moon Love by Glenn Miller, Song of India by Tommy Dorsey and My Reverie by Larry Clinton were also parts of classical numbers.

[LiliumNightShade]

The songs they play are Let's Dance, SingSingSing and Don't Be That Way.

[SGKAC]

Oh to have been there!

[DaRkGiNg3R]

my highschool band played on that same stage :P

[chonches]

[lastmanstandingtv]

[LucaC1993]

Damn! I always wished to live in the '30s. Everything that we have today came out in those great times! Everything seems perfect: the music, the cars, the advertisment, etc. When they invent the time machine I'll go down there, for sure!

[MavriOrxidea]

@LucaC1993

and of course, you' ll get smallpox, polio and other similar insignificant things of these times. And you'll miss your pc, your cell phone and the far more safer cars of today as well. :P

[edwardconway27]

[FernandOrtizdeUrbina]

@estoke61 I think there's under a minute of newsreel footage. Jon Hancock has written a whole book about the concert, look it up at bg1938.com

[mrswaltzingmatilda]

Great music, wish I was around then. thanks for sharing.

[1947Rollo]

Mitico! E' questo jazz di ieri che mi gonfia l'anima e mi fa pulsare a mille il cuore.Grazie per il video stupendo .

[femmedebelle]

Dal Richards was talking about the whole " how much time do you need during intermission" thing at this concert I played in last week! So cute! It would have been soo fun to dance at the carnagie halll performance.. Too bad they hired dancers instead :P

[MelinaMagagnoli659]

Get the audio from this song at tubepull doht cohm.

[Halo56691]

my grandfather was at Carnegie Hall back in 38

[groovedrumming1]

This was really a turning point in jazz history and American music history...I just wish I could have been there that night...man, how cool that would have been!

[maggiegregori]

This is a great documentary, I really recommend watching the whole thing.

[kusa1978]

I want to go back in time. Oh,how I would just love to be there. I enjoy this music so much. Classic yet before it's time.

[Robbylonia]

I know...it was a complement. Sorry, I guess that got lost in translation. Love Sing, Sing, Sing...

[Robbylonia]

Benny Goodman rocked out with his cock out!

[tripacer2005]

@Robbylonia WHY WOULD YOU SAY A NASTY THING ABOUT ONE OF THE BEST BAND LEADERS IN THE WORLD ! YOU DUMB ASS....

[spnr9]

Does anybody know the name of the song you hear in the background for the first ~20 seconds?

[Exilatus]

@spnr9 "Let's Dance"

[spnr9]

@Exilatus Thank you very much!

[bafranko]

@spnr9 - LET'S DANCE

[Hscooby249]

@bafranko Sing Sing Sing (With a Swing) <3

[floraflair]

@spnr9

Louis Prima -> Sing, Sing, Sing (with a swing)

[TGSuchka13]

@spnr9 Sing Sing Sing.

[JedTheAmazing]

@spnr9 actually the songs name sing sing sing

[urtubinon]

@spnr9 String of Pearls.  Look it up with Glenn Miller

[urtubinon]

@urtubinon  My mistake... it was Let's Dance.

[Exilatus]

I don't think a lot of people who attended this concert knew they were in heaven, with a god at the clarinet, and angels around him.

[bimhimbim]

@Exilatus America had more gifted clarinettists but they were black.

[Exilatus]

@bimhimbim Hum Benny Goodman is considered as the best clarinet player who ever existed. But they were a lot of very good clarinettists though.

[GrandmaFoxes]

Cool..tell us some names so we can enjoy them, as well.

[Slaggur]

Imagine being there. fuck

[RavenclawEspioXV]

"How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice, practice, practice." Ah, I remember that.

[Thommideluxe]

thats extremly great! i didn´t know that there was filmed. Is the complete concert on film? does anyone know where i can get that film?

[Hadewijch]

Wow... to be there on that night!

[AJNorth]

Goodman had been dating John Hammond's sister; HER family went to Carnegie Hall, and so Goodman decided to play there - the first time jazz would be on a Carnegie Hall program. Now, it seems that a sister of one of the band members was dating a Columbia engineer who wanted to record this historic event, Goodman told him to do what he needed, but to stay out of the way. So, one mic was placed on-stage; the other overhead. The rest is histor"The night that Jazz became respectable."

[nevermindi]

sang there for a memorial for 9/11 victims in january it was amazing

[jgrab1]

Why this editing mishmosh? I'm familiar with the sources this material came from.  It was edited fine the way it was. You should have just left it alone.

[E0N7]

Man to be at that concert at that moment in time would be amazing. That concert not only brought swing, " hot music", jazz to the legitimate stage, it brought all modern music in the future to be given a chance to be looked at for what it is.

[spottydog4477]

utter kick ass!

[JCronin1234]

Can anyone tell me the name of the song beginning at 0:25 and ending at 1:48. i've heard it a thousand times but never knew the name. its friggin' awesome as well!

[neoman91661]

@JCronin1234 It's Sing, Sing, Sing.

Great song.

[ChocolateKunai]

My grandfather and I listen to this song in the car ALL the time. It is THE best song with THE best muscians.

[donnajazz]

unique, thanks

[TheRussianF]

I want to hear jess stacy's solo damn it

[orson15]

@TheRussianF  Stacy's solo was the best part of the concert.

[Exilatus]

@orson15 To me, if I was there, the best parts of the concert would be Lester Young playing for the jam session and Sing, sing, sing (with a swing).

Anyways the full concert is awesome.

[SirCharlesPerkins]

One of the seminal moments in American Musical History

[tryjzz]

Jon Hancock has just published a wonderful book about the concert. Contact me for details. Jim.
