Harry James - Trumpet Blues and Cantabile download song

glenn from wales harry james was the firstband leader to credit frank sinatra as a vocal soloist in his lineup

ALWAYS a truly great trumpet artist and musician! Would love to see a personnel list for this!

Harry James is by far my favorite big band musician. Unlike rock and rollers today...these big band musicians could read mucical charts "cold" without even practicing it first. These were "real musicians". They could read and arrange music.

What a lucky bastard, played with Benny, married Betty Grable. her with the 100 million dollar legs, fronted his own band, who I had the pleasure of watching at The Southport theatre, and gave pleasure to millions, thanks a million, Harry. RIP.

trumpet1951, I've made the same observation. When we talk about great trumpet players, names like Marsalis, Nakariakov, Hirt, obviously Mendez and a host of others are mentioned, but not Harry James. I wonder why that is? He's obviously right up there with cream of the crop.

Harry james was an amazing trumpet player how can you say that," he is definitliy not the best trumpet player in the world" listen to his records.

Best trumpet section of the big band era. roger carroll

i forget alois irlmayer when i this hear

Yes great. I'm from Poland

This is one of my all time favorites! How can you sit still while this is playing?!! It jumps!

This is music!!

That band must have been incredible to hear live. Too bad they didn't have hi-fi recording at this point in James' career.

If you look at James's facial expressions....there is a real "sly, bad boy cool" on his face. I'd be willing to bet this dude drank booze like a marine and smoked pot too.

the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(trumpet) High E over and over again and again, plus panasch and class.
