STAR-SPANGLED RADIO HOUR

WEDNESDAY 30th APRIL 5pm

FEATURING BENNY GOODMAN

From 1936 until the mid-1940s, Goodman led one of the most popular Swing Big Bands in the United States. His concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City on January 16, 1938, is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most important jazz or popular music concert in history: jazz's 'coming out' party to the world of 'respectable' music."

Goodman's bands started the careers of many jazz musicians. During an era of racial segregation, he led one of the first integrated jazz groups, his trio and quartet. He continued performing until the end of his life while pursuing an interest in classical music.
