the definition of hard working musicians

This night in late October of 1959 (I was about to turn 3 years old) they made history, playing the first jazz concert ever in Carnegie Hall to sold out crowd (at the height of their popularity - whereby Ed Sullivan had been having them on his famed television show every few months beginning in 1958), but there was no reception for them after their historic Carnegie Hall concert, nor a cocktail party honoring them up in some nearby penthouse apartment.

They rushed to a jazz club called the Round Table on 50th Street (a club which had opened just the previous year) to play the rest of the night.

Here's the last handful of minutes of the concert at Carnegie Hall, the entire concert of which was recorded live and issued on this LP: (their 10th - on the Audio Fidelity label).

The late great Duke Ellington played Carnegie back in 1943. Pretty sure the Duke’s music is considered Jazz. The album of it though wasn’t released until 1977.

. I was totally wrong about that and thank you.
Benny Goodman played there in 1938 and even if it was with his big band, you know that he played some Dixieland stuff with the trio or quartet in that concert.

I'm remembering that it was the first something about jazz in that venue, and maybe the first recorded concert, but maybe not even that.

Again, thanks.
but my main point was them rushing over to play in a club right after there sold out concert in Carnegie Hall rather than that misinformation.

edit:
...so I believe I figured out where my brain went on the "first" something or other.
It's apparently believed that their second LP recorded on audio Fidelity was the first STEREO Jazz LP issued.



... whereas Volume 7, "Circus Time" is credited with - as of the date of its issue - featuring the lowest recorded musical pitch thus far, which was the double low F played on the tuba at the end of their arrangement of "Asleep In the Deep" - the tuba and bass player at that time having been Barney Mallon.
