Gregor Kilian & his All Star-Band

In 1938, Benny Goodman made jazz into concert music with his legendary Carnegie Hall concert in New York. Not only his big band, but also trios and quartets with Teddy Wilson, Gene Krupa and Lionel Hampton thrilled audiences and brought swing before the first television cameras.
