The Metropolitan Opera House in New York city hosted a jazz concert for the first time in its history. The performance was named as
Esquire Jazz Concert since Esquire magazine sponsored the concert and the concert featured jazz giants of the time: Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Artie Shaw, Roy Eldridge and Jack Teagarden - simply the best in jazz at the time. A symbolic recognition of jazz as a genre of quality music.
