Benny Goodman’s 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert opened the door for jazz to be appreciated as a true American art form. Revisiting this famous concert - with original charts - Ken Peplowski and The Kingdom of Swing Big Band (which features a number of Benny Goodman Orchestra alumni as well as a female singer) will perform such hits as "One O’Clock Jump", "Stompin’ at the Savoy", "Don’t Be That Way", and the climactic finale - "Sing, Sing, Sing."

Benny Goodman himself chose Ken Peplowski, then just 25 years old, for his last touring orchestra in 1984. Called "Goodman Straight up with a Twist of Lightning" by The New York Times, prolific recording artist and clarinet virtuoso Peplowski is universally regarded as a charismatic entertainer who has been delighting audiences for over thirty years with his warmth, wit and humor. A perfect night in Staller's Recital Hall is just waiting for you.
