This is the first studio album from Harry James since bad diagnosis in 1994. I am not a real Jazz music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Harry James - Greatest Hits’ really is amazing. After seeing I had the craziest dream, I had to have a good Harry James cd. This is one of Harry James best albums
In Trumpet Blues it becomes nowhere more obvious that Harry James has yet to define own style. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Harry James - Greatest Hits. The sound of Palladium Party is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. I hope to keep hearing Harry James works for a long time to come. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Sleepy Time Gal is my favorite song on Harry James - Greatest Hits. Stardust is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Listening to Here’s one you can hear that Harry James has still amazing chemistry with band members. Bangtail sets the tone for the entire album. I like the idea behind Ultra. I’ve heard that song before is just simply stunning. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Cherry still maintains something of a specific flourish. You made me love you is the more seemingly obscure song on Harry James - Greatest Hits that bear up best to repeated listening. Sleepy Lagoon is so unique, as each one of the songs is.
