HARRY JAMES
Description:
In 1946 most big bands already found it difficult finding steady and well paid engagements. Many a leader considered himself lucky when he was booked into a residency instead of having to go on the arduous road of playing strings of one nighters. Harry James still had good jobs that year but the mere size of his big band is reminiscent of the dinosaur's tragic path of evolution: the closer to the point of extinction the bigger both, dinosaur's and big bands grew. Indeed, the formation led by Harry James was bloated to frightening proportions by incorporating a complete string section with no less than 20 players besides the already augmented staff of a swing band!
