In 1938, Benny Goodman raised the bar for Jazz from smoke-filled bars to concert hall stage with his Carnegie Hall performance. This dance band wizard sealed his coronation as "The King of Swing" on that night. Bob DeAngelis has a dynamic program that will pay tribute to Benny Goodman and the swing era.
