2008 compilation of great musical moments from one of the finest trumpet players in Jazz. One of the many talented jazzmen who died before his time, trumpeter Bunny Berigan was adored by his public and highly respected by his fellow musicians. Louis Armstrong even refused to record 'I Can't Get Started' because in his words, 'it belongs to my boy Bunny Berigan'. This compilation reunites some of Berigan's best recordings, including his celebrated rendition of 'Marie' with Tommy Dorsey and a spectacular version of his hit song 'I Can't Get Started' (composed by Vernon Duke with lyrics by George Gershwin's brother Ira), on which Bunny also sings. 23 tracks.
