His early stuff was great and did have a lot of feeling...then he went "Hollywood" - married a movie star and all the feeling was gone - seems like he just played for the money after a certain point
I am a 53 year old ... ( 1 year ago by olbrneyes1953)
I am a 53 year old professional trumpet player. I have either seen or heard all the greats. Harry James was the greatest trumpet player that EVER lived. He could play anything. He was very close to Miles and Dizzy and I have heard him play just like Miles and Diz. He was the only player I ever saw who could play great while drunk. Forget his commercial success. Study his 1954-1966 recordings. Wow!

I know an jazz ... ( 1 year ago by drdent7)
I know an jazz trumpeter from the 50's and 60's by the name of Don Ferrara. Played with Gerry Mulligan and a host of others. I asked him once about Harry James. He said the same thing about his tone, that it was one of the best ever. He also said Harry James could play any style as good as anyone.
Harry's theme, ... ( 1 year ago by joeasmythe)
Harry's theme, Sleepy Lagoon, never fails to bring
back the thrill of the big band era. I think it is his
best song.
Miles cited James ... ( 1 year ago by CDSJAZZ)
Miles cited James as an influence.Can you dig that?
sure but influence ... ( 1 year ago by ishredu)
sure but influence is a universal concept..any jazz player can be "influenced" by a classical musician but that doesn't make him a classical musician.
Miles was the poet ... ( 1 year ago by CDSJAZZ)
Miles was the poet of the trumpet and surely you have to say James was a jazz guy despite his commercial successes. Don't forget Miles sold out in the 70's.

Hi! I'm afraid it ... ( 1 year ago by Biznemo1)
Hi! I'm afraid it should be "Artie Shaw". Well, Artie had more musical taste but he reflected the same kind of magic. Harry never read books but Artie was also a very intellectual novelist. I love both!

Because they don't "live" it anymore! That's why!

he didn't sell out, he believed in that music artistically. music changes, i'm sorry you didn't like it.

I disagree but he did move jazz into the jazz/rock groove for better or worse.

James is kick ass on this one. He could always play cutting edge shit with anybody if he wanted. And when it comes to swinging, his band took second place to no one.
