Thanks all for the comments...! We were very excited about this feature.
The audio can't be offered as streaming (from 24.3.11) due to licensing arrangements. But it's a widely available release and an important part of Jazz history...!
Talk soon,
ABC Jazz.
Excellent music. I have listened to the concert several times while I write my thesis. I don't know much about jazz but what I heard I liked very much and to think it was recorded in 1938. Thank you ABC, can you please keep this link on for a while? Can I save this concert?
The Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert (Vol 1) was the very first record I ever bought - late 50s. Set me as a lover of jazz for life.
Thank you so-o-o much for posting this .
It is AWSOME that human needs are catered for & that isolation can become a thing of the past ...
I am very sentimental about Breakthroughs that make life easier for us - I even cried on the day of the monumental achievement of being able to dial UK DIRECT !!! to speak to my Dad - w/o going through an operator !!!!
This Benny Goodman 's Concert will make my 80 yr old uncle VicK feel young again to know that he can tune in to the music of his era on demand ....Thank you for Progress !
Online on demand ...24hr Jazz....who'd a thunk it/
I remember when the only way we could hear Jazz
was to Listen to the Voice of Americas Jazz Hour on short wave
and locally, Geoff Brookes at some late hour once a week!
Wonderful stuff. Such good quality sound for such a long time ago , and the music!!!!...magical memories.
It's interesting to hear how respectful the big audience was...only applauding the ends, and the special solo moments.
