If I ever have a chance to travel back in time, this concert is my destination.
In bringing jazz to Carnegie, (Benny Goodman was), in effect, smuggling
American contraband into the halls of European high culture, and Goodman
and his 15 men pull(ed) it off with the audacity and precision of Ocean's Eleven.

Anniversary at Carnegie Hall is the album I have in my own collection.
