Harry James - Trumpet Blues: Best of

This CD presents 16 of James' greatest recordings, made between 1955-58, with Helen Forrest, Willie Smith, Corky Corcoran and Buddy Rich among the cast. From hi-fi remakes of his '30s hits ("Trumpet Blues" and "Ciribiribin") to contemporary charts ("Blues on a Count" and "Barn 12"), this set covers the entire career of the amazing trumpeter/bandleader. The album carries the same title and graphics as the Peter Levinson biography of Harry James to be published this Oct.
