Great Swingin'.......2003-12-18

If you want one CD for swing dancing, this is the baby. Harry is at the TOP of all time swing greats. His music moves, swings, rocks, jumps, oooooooo yeahhhh! And this CD has perhaps the finest collection for swing dancing or just listening. Ya cant beat it. These numbers by HJ beat out ALL current swing music competition for swinging movement, rocking trumpet, other fine instrument passages, great melodies and orchestration. Many of them are better in some ways than those of the fab Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Here are 24 great numbers to rock away the hours and scrape away any blues barnacles that may have gathered on your hull baby! 1-2, 3-4, Rock back, take me for a boogie boogie boogie ride, yeahhhhhhh.
