I am a 87 year old BRIT. Havelistened to this great musician since I was a small dance band trumpet player back in the late 1940s /50s. Was taught by a good cornet player in the Salvation Army in which I w as in those days a Young Soldier. I have a great collection of C DS of this greatest trumpet player in the world that ever was. Please Chuck, keep bringing these great golden oldies on your channel GREAT STUFF
My grandpa never missed Lawrence Welk and never stopped praising Harry James. I never really heard much of his material, just a few 40s recordings. So all I can say is.........this is some first rate stuff. Harry is well-nigh flawless as a trumpet artist. Big band is an acquired taste but I'm enjoying this.
I'm wondering: Is the Harry James Band here playing authentic Neal Hefti arrangements? Or are they someone else's arrangements of Neal Hefti songs? I wish I knew.

Man, Harry and Hefti were made for each other! :)
This is fantastic. I wish Apple Music had more Harry James albums like this.
Unbeatable sound LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful
When I was in high school in the late 1960s, I used to go see the Harry James Band in Columbia, SC at the Shriners Hall. It was fantastic!
I lived in Columbia S.C for a few years. I played trumpet in the Jimmy Farr Orchestra.
Harry's naval recordings with Hefti from the late 40s are brill, so nice to hear this later collaboration. Thanks Chuck!
You're welcome!
Super album! A special treat! Thank you.
Chuck, Professor Dick Goodwin of the University Of South Carolina is still band leading in Columbia.
Great album Chuck👍🏻
And you know the difference!

Neal Hefti arranged and co-produced this album.
