Benny Goodman Septet
North Sea Jazz Classics
The North Sea Jazz Festival is the largest indoor music festival in the world, known globally as the event where the past, present and future of jazz are featured within three days. Next to a firm base of jazz as the festival's staple music genre, many others, such as blues, soul, funk, or hip hop, pass by. Back in 1982, legendary jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague with his septet. The "King of Swing" revisited the atmosphere of the 1930s, when jazz enjoyed tremendous popularity.
