The In Person and H-Fi Sounds Of Harry James

The In Person and H-Fi Sounds Of Harry James

AVID welcomes one of the star sidemen of the 1930's...Harry James. Harry found fame while performing with the Benny Goodman Band and went on to form his own big band, achieving huge success from the 1930's to the 1950's. Our collection captures four classic albums released in the 1950's, 'One Night Stand' recorded live at the Aragon Ballroom, the critically lauded 'Jazz Session', 'Harry James in Hi-Fi' and 'More Harry James In Hi-Fi'. These releases signaled a return for Harry following a period of semi retirement and as you will hear his trumpet playing has retained all its old qualities of verve and brash excitement encouraged by playing alongside an orchestra full of fine soloists. Indeed the great musicologist Gunther Schuller described James as 'the most technically assured and prodigiously talented trumpet player of the late Swing Era'.
