Description

180-Gram Virgin Vinyl Limited Edition Made during the first years of the LP era, Harry James in Hi-Fi (1955) comprises some of the greatest hits of the Harry James orchestra – a unit that by that time had been working unceasingly with few changes since 1939. Among the instrumental figures present on the album were trombonist Juan Tizol (who had made a name for himself as part of the Duke Ellington orchestra) and saxophonist Willie Smith. Also present on some of the tracks was singer Helen Forrest, another veteran of the orchestra. The program was a mix of the orchestra’s previously recorded hits, re-recorded here in order to take advantage of the recently developed Hi-Fidelity recording techniques. The LP was a best seller when first issued and was then followed by a sequel. 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL – THE COMPLETE ALBUM
