Benny Goodman performs at the Savoy Café.

(July) Goodman sits in with the Sabby Lewis band. According to Lewis, “he stopped all the action right away. Everybody’s mouth dropped open, and they listened. It went on for about an hour, and I’ll never forget, the, bartender Jim Connolly, said, ‘Get that bum down out of there. We’re not selling any booze.’ At the time, he didn’t know it was Goodman.”
