Our Take

Ah, Harry James, the man with the golden trumpet and the suave style to match. In this collection of four classic albums, James takes us on a journey through the swinging sounds of the 1940s and 50s, offering up a mix of big band hits and smooth crooner numbers that are sure to get your toes tapping and your hips swaying.

First up, we have "Trumpet Blues: The Big Hits of Harry James." This album is a real barnstormer, showcasing James' incredible chops on the trumpet and his knack for putting together a killer big band arrangement. From the rollicking title track to the sultry "Hoochie Coochie Man," this is James at the peak of his powers.

Next, we have "Wild About Harry," a more laid-back affair that sees James exploring the softer side of his musical persona. The standout track here is "I've Heard That Song Before," a dreamy ballad that showcases James' smooth vocals and impeccable phrasing.

On "I've Heard That Song Before," James takes a step back from the spotlight and lets his band take center stage. The result is a rollicking set of instrumentals that showcase James' band at their hard-swinging best.

Finally, we have "The Beat of the Big Bands," a rollicking set of tunes that captures James and his band at their raucous, foot-stomping best. From the blistering opening track, "Two O'Clock Jump," to the jaunty closer, "Ciribiribin," this album is a non-stop party from start to finish.

Overall, these four albums are a must-have for any fan of big band music or jazz in general. Harry James may be gone, but his music lives on in this fantastic collection.
