DESCRIPTION:
This is from a radio remote from Aug 31, 1962 from Freedomland, NY.
This is an example of the greatest band Harry James ever fronted.
The band included three of the best lead players ever, Rob Turk trumpet, Ray Sims trombone, and Willie Smith on lead alto. The rhythm section was Jack Perciful on piano, Red Kelly on bass, and Buddy Rich on drums.
Ernie Wilkins' blistering chart on "Jumpin' at the Woodside" featuring Harry, Willie and Corky Corcoran on tenor.
Ernie's chart on "Rockin' in Rhythm" features Harry and Buddy.
Harry was playing better than ever, and the band was as tight as any band in the business!
