Our Take

Harry James brings us a delightful time capsule of his early Columbia recordings with Mona Lisa: Rarities From The Columbia Years 1950-53. This collection showcases the legendary trumpeter at the height of his powers, delivering smooth, velvety tones and virtuosic solos that will have you swooning in your seat.

From the swooning balladry of "Mona Lisa" to the lively swing of "Two O'Clock Jump," James effortlessly glides through a diverse range of styles with impeccable grace. The lush arrangements, tight rhythms, and stellar musicianship on display here are a testament to James' unparalleled talent and musicality.

Tracks like "Sleepy Time Gal" and "Loveless Love" transport listeners back to a bygone era of big band glamour and sophistication, while the rollicking "Trumpet Blues and Cantabile" showcases James' incredible range and technical prowess on the trumpet.

Despite being a collection of rare recordings from the early 1950s, Mona Lisa feels remarkably fresh and timeless. James' music transcends the confines of time and genre, captivating listeners with its infectious energy and charm.

In short, Harry James' Mona Lisa is a must-have for any jazz aficionado or music lover looking to add a touch of vintage flair to their collection. So sit back, relax, and let the dulcet tones of Harry James sweep you off your feet. You won't be disappointed.
