Description
A great clip from the triumphant European tour by Harry James and His Orchestra in 1970.
Sonny Payne on drums.
Corky Corcoran is featured on tenor, Jack Watson on baritone, and Jack Perciful on piano.
Harry James shows that after all the years and road trips, was still Mr. Ironchops in 1970.
Diehard Count Basie fans will recognize the arrangement by Ernie Wilkins is almost identical to his composition for Basie known as "Basie."
There's no doubt that The Harry James Orchestra of the late 1950's - the early 1970's was still a juggernaut!
