Goodman became the first real jazz musician to capture a mass bourgeois white audience in America and carried him to this fantastic performance at Carnegie Hall.

The complete concert has been digitally re-mastered, with a sound quality that exceeds all previous issues and with all edits restored.

This CD captures Goodman and his orchestra at the peak of their performance. With guest appearances from a host of famous musicians including: Count Basie, Cootie Williams and Bobby Hackett.
