@jdodge349 their parents and grandparents didn't like it. It was considered low talent devil's music. Actually, the elites that frequented Carnegie Hall didn't even consider it to be music at all and thought it was disgusting that this kind of trash was allowed to perform at Carnegie Hall.

What is the name of the first song on this video? Such a jazzy sound to it!!

So GREAT, Thanks

Personally I just never liked the song. Just an annoying sound. It makes me think that I am stuck in the jungle or watching a Bugs Bunny cartoon with the natives.

@4realexpat It's Jess Stacy on piano (not Geoff). Also, it's widely known that the recording was done with at least 3 microphones - the one 44BX microphone that hung above the conductor's podium and the others on either side of the band. However, Benny believed that it was recorded with only one.

@jdodge349 Because people think that they are special or don't like to fit in.

I never tire of listening to this version - I was told that it was - unoficially recorded on a wire recorder. I was also told that in this version Benny Goodman - in his long solo - plays a note which is not on the claranet. I was privilaged to see one of the last perfomances of the Octet - in Munich - 1974. I had a seat just two rows from the fron - it cost the equivalent of a weeks wages but was worth every penny. I also managed to get the signatures of Benny and the band.
