Top Trumpeter
ARRY JAMES, American trumpeter (his playing of Flight of the Bumble-. bee sets him apart among non-swing listeners), was born in Albany, Georgia, in 1916. His father, a circus bandmaster, and an accomplished cornet-player,, taught him much about the affinity between the tongue, the lip and the mouthpiece, By the time he was 16, James had been introduced to the public by Ben Pollack and then he joined Benny Goodman’s Orchestra, After playing for Goodman for nearly three years James formed his own swing band which, in 1941, was rivalling America’s most popular dance combinations. Harry James’s band will be featured in a special programme from 2ZB on Wednesday, December 17, at 8.30 p.m.
