Radio Mirror, Vol. 10: May, 1938 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Radio Mirror, Vol. 10: May, 1938
Part I N the evening of January 16, 1938, New York's dignified Carnegie Hall was the scene of such a demonstration as it had not witnessed in the forty-seven years of its musical life.
In the Dress Circle, debutantes trucked and shagged among the gilt chairs. In the boxes, top hats, ermine coats, and lorgnettes nodded and swayed in time to the music, then cheered, applauded, and shouted Bravo!
All this in honor of a tall, smiling, bespectacled young man in white tie and tails who stood down there on the stage with a clarinet in his hands.
He was Benny Goodman, son of an obscure Chicago tailor, and he had just finished the first concert of swing music ever played in Carnegie Hall.
