Jazz
This collection carries the same title and graphics as the Peter Levinson biography of Harry James to be published this October by Oxford Press. It contains 16 of Harry James' greatest records, made between 1955 and '58 with Helen Forrest, Willie Smith, Corky Corcoran and Buddy Rich among the cast and arrangements by Jack Mathias, Jimmy Mundy, Ernie Wilkins and others. From hi-fi remakes of his '30s hits like "Trumpet Blues" and "Ciribiribin" to contemporary charts like "Blues On A Count" and "Barn 12, " this set covers the entire career of this amazing trumpeter and bandleader. |
