|
|
I saw this in the comments of a video on Youtube from the last album Harry appeared on - an album titled "The Man I Love" by Japanese singer Kei Marimura.
"...I have to add a personal note. In 1965 I was playing trumpet with the house band at the Carousel Ballroom on Market Street in San Francisco. Harry James came through with his band sometime that year. But what I remember besides his awesome sound--blew the rest of the trumpet section right off the stand--was when I went back to the band room during a break, there was Harry James sitting in a lounge chair playing Clark Technical Studies #2 in nothing but his boxer shorts."

That must have been quite a sight. Harry absolutely played the snot out of the horn. |
