Trumpeter Harry James was one of the big stars of the swing era, first in the orchestra of Benny Goodman, then with his own outfit, which in the 1930s featured a skinny young singer named Frank Sinatra. Though the decline in popularity of big bands began in the mid-1940s, James hung on for a loyal, eager crowds that craved tightly arranged, swinging dance sounds. His crackling, lyrical trumpet lost none of its dynamic flair in those post-WWII years. This set captures James and his boys at their peak, and is suitable for newcomers and longtime fans alike.
