1937-8 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert.....
As the regular arrangment (with solos by Benny and Ziggy Elman) draws to a close, Benny senses the boys are getting an extra boot out of Fletcher Henderson's score this evening, so he flashes the sign to keep it going. Harry James gets up and Gene Krupa give him a solid two-beat platform and Jess Stacy takes over for two choruses.Finally the band come back with some fierce riffing,closing with the venerable, "Oh,not enough!" which Josephine used to play for Napoleon on her home-made virginial.....
