. Unlike most big band arrangements of that era, limited in length to three minutes so that they could be recorded on one side of a standard 10-inch 78-rpm record, Goodman band version was an extended work.

Benny Goodman is quoted as saying, "'Sing, Sing, Sing' (which we started doing back at the

on our second trip there in 1936) was a big thing, and no one-nighter was complete without it". Goodman's 1938 Carnegie Hall jazz concert was different from the commercial release and from subsequent performances with the Goodman band. The personnel of the Goodman band for the Carnegie Hall concert were the same as in the 1937 recording session, except Vernon Brown replaced Murray McEachern on trombone, and Babe Russin replaced Vido Musso on tenor sax. Goodman's solo is more introspective in the Carnegie performance, with a wider range of dynamics and colors and with Krupa playing a peculiar accompaniment accented on the third beat of the measure behind BG for the first half of the solo and Jess Stacy using many minor-chord punctuations. The following solo by Stacy is exceptional, a four-chorus, chromatic impressionistic masterpiece distinct from everything that preceded it. That solo has been widely analyzed by pianists both jazz and classical. Stacy was quoted as saying he was glad he did not know Goodman was going to let him solo, because then he would have gotten nervous and "screwed it up."
Easily accessible to rock audiences due to its big beat and showy drum breaks structure, it is used widely from television commercials to high school marching bands.
