$2.30 (adjusted 2025) to see Benny Goodman and his Orchestra? Sold

Wiki -

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."
