Sensacional❤❤

Greatest of the Greats. Harry makes Gabriel's Torricelli Trumpet sound like a mere Bugle.

Not only is this an iconically difficult piece to play - it's also a very difficult piece to play well - which is the true sign of a virtuoso like Harry James. He is indeed an underestimated and underappreciated "greatest generation" musician.

Wow..! My brother played this.. ! He knew how to execute this song beautifully..! He was so talented..!

My dad was a jazz trumpeter and Harry James was his hero. My dad had a photo of me as a baby that was actually signed by Harry James, wishing me a happy life. He had it in his wallet until the day he died. My mom gave it to me and I still have it to this day.

Been listening to Harry James for about 55 years now. I'm 66 now. This man and his orchestra were awesome live at Disneyland!!!!!!

To me, he was the best trumpet player in the world. What marvelous talent. When you put the three best in the world at the time together, Harry James, Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa, you had music that was unparalleled.

Como siempre extraordinario Harry James!! Es fabuloso no soy de la generación de esa época...pero escucharlo no tiene edad ni tiempo, es gratificante y muy fresco, vital, apasionante😍😍

LOVE ❤❤❤

Wow

Very, VERY intense.

I can actually see the bumblebees!❤😂

ce fut et c'est toujours le meilleur

this is the recording that was used in the opening of woody Allen's Radio days

My late dad’s favorite. I loved to watch his face when he listened to big band music. How he loved it.

He makes it look so easy....

One of my many favorites

Well I been banned Facebook -I listen to the masters on untube -helps

Boldog születésnapot!

Let’s give an honorable mention to Zigington Harry Finkelman Ellman. He blew one mean shofar. His debut LP was, “Syncopated Shofar”, w/ Benny Goodman and Teddy Wilson.

I suggest you look for Al Hirt Flight of the Bumblebee he was the Green Hornet theme song

Harry James and The Ventures = Great Performances !

I heard an unidentified trumpeter play it up one or two octives... maybe dbl the speed... and too bad but it wasn't identified. It very well could be HJ... but a diff recording. I've performed this with the 1st Marine Div band... i was a saxophonist... one of perhaps 3 or 4 most difficult pieces I've ever been a part of performing or hearing performed. I'm guessing those of you were looking for the one I'mmrefwrring to

Fast... But the quality of tone is not that good as Rafael Mendez..

Composed and Arranged by Jimmy Mundy ca. 1948. James first recorded it in 1949 for Columbia in a severely cut / shortened version to fit on a 10-inch 78rpm record. Mundy composed and / or arranged many of Goodman's most famous arrangements from 1936-1939 including BG's "Sing, Sing, Sing"... Mundy began as a violinist as a child and began doubling on saxophone in the 1920s and became known as a saxophonist and arranger for Earl "Fatha" Hines famous band in Chicago in the 1930s and then Chick Webb in Harlem (New York City). Artie Shaw commissioned a few pieces from Mundy in 1944-45, among them is Shaw's great record of Mundy's original composition "Lady Day" written in honor of the great singer Billie Holiday (who had worked as Shaw's band Vocalist in 1938).

“He hunts the biggest of all game - public enemies that even the G-Men cannot reach. The GREEN HORNET!”

Effortless with very little pressure on his lips Harry was the best!

Also his amazing breath control!

The greatest trumpet player ever ! Maestro Harry James ! Bravo ! 😃👍❤

I've played professional trpt since I was in 9th grade (1968) and I've NEVER heard anything played this fast and accurate on a trpt. I got to hear Harry LIVE twice and he literally blew the roof off the bandstand each time.

Amazing

One of the greatest bar none👏👏

The BEST their ever was! Period..! End of story! Truly a LEGEND...! Thank you Harry James...! RIP but keep it up in Heaven!

A little off topic, but early on Frank Sinatra was Harry James' singer. Tommy Dorsey wanted Frank in HIS orchestra. Harry's group was excellent, but Harry knew Tommy Dorsey's group was a step above. Harry gave Frank his approval and wished him well in his new endeavor with Tommy. Frank was ALWAYS grateful to Harry James for that.

I only have 11 word for this, if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly.

c'était pas mal mais comparé à maurice andré on est loin

Al Hirt had better technique and was way way better than Harry.

You could almost see the bumblebee. Bravo!

I'd like to see. Louis Armstrong do this???

He's the best there ever was.

Easy

Feels like I’m watching Tom and Jerry episode

He was a very rare and exceptional Musical talent.

And on tonight’s episode of the Green Hornet.......

There was only one Harry James

"Hey Harry, can you play "Flight of the Bumblebee"? "Gee, I'm not sure, it can't be too hard...Let me try it!" (Moments later) "Yea, that was easy!"

I wonder if that guy strumming guitar at the back can even be heard.
