He was also one of the most popular bandleaders of the first half of the 1940s, and he continued to lead his band until just before his death, 40 years later. The tracks on this vinyl were recorded between 1961 and 1964. All except "Tuxedo Junction", "Harlem Nocturne", "Two O'Clock Jump", and "Frenesi" came from the MGM-Verve studios in Los Angeles. The four named were put down in Las Vegas on March 9 & 10, 1964. Unlike his old boss, Benny Goodman, who merely put a band together when he needed one, Harry retained a core group of soloists for quite a number of years. He was quoted as saying: "You talk about my different bands. Well that's wrong because I've only ever had one band over the years. Sure players come and go, but the main feeling is a continuous thing. Some of the people in my band at the moment (1964), guys you've perhaps never heard of, have been with me 13 or 14 years. You've got to look after your soloists. When they have things written for them they're happy and they grow to be part of the organisation. Take Duke. He made quite a few changes to his band, but never changed any of his main soloists from choice. Carney, Gonsalves, Hodges, Cootie were always there, but there were often changes in the third and fourth trumpets, in the second trombone and so on. But the soloists stayed put." The band on this album reflects those years of consistency. Like James, those men were craftsmen -- men like trombonist Ray Sims (brother of Zoot). The layers of talent in this band were deep enough to ensure that whatever it did, it did well.
