| | New Georgia Encyclopedia: Harry James (1916-1983) |
 | | In an attempt to produce hit records, James and his orchestra began to feature more songs that showcased his singers, and the group moved away from the traditional swing sound. | | | While with Goodman, James also recorded with Miff Mole and Lionel Hampton, and he made his recording debut as a band leader. | | | Living in a circus environment gave James free reign to focus on learning the instrument, and as a young teenager he led the second-line band of the Christy Brothers Circus. |

| | Solid! -- Harry James |
| | One of the most popular bandleaders of the wartime era, Harry James is best remembered today for his colorful trumpet playing and as the husband of pin-up girl Betty Grable. | | | In June of that year James hired an inexperienced Frank Sinatra as his male vocalist. | | | With Harry's sentimental horn and Helen's emotional singing the band was at its peak and soon began to receive movie offers. |

| | But in January 1947, his All Time Favorites collection was at the top of the album charts, indicating he was still broadly popular, and within months he had re-organized his band, reducing the number of strings (and soon eliminating them entirely), and taking a more jazz-oriented approach. | | | Similar success was achieved with "Castle Rock," which paired James with Frank Sinatra and reached the charts in September. | | | Frank Sinatra had recently emerged as a solo star, and in the spring of 1943, Columbia reissued "All or Nothing at All," a song he had recorded as James' vocalist in 1939; the song reached the Top Five. |

| | The jazz-pop stardom of Harry James |
| | James was in love with the sleek Basie sound, and he wanted it. | | | When James is discussed, it's as the bandleader who "discovered" Frank Sinatra. | | | The swing beat was a musical language as much as it was something to dance to -- instrumental music with pop appeal. |

| | Trumpet Blues: Best Of Harry James - Wal-Mart |
| | Harry James' father played trumpet in the band of a touring circus, and at first Harry played the drums, but then he, too, took up the trumpet and at the age of nine was also playing in the circus band. | | | In his early years James was a brashly exciting player, attacking solos and abetting ensembles with a rich tone and what was at times an overwhelmingly powerful sound. | | | In fact, James band can be seen to have pre-empted the slightly later but much more widely recognized middle-period band led by Basie, which also used Wilkins" and Hefti's charts. |

| | Review Trumpet Blues: The Life of Harry James |
| | To dance music lovers, James was the leader for three decades of a consistently satisfying big band whose earliest incarnation gave Frank Sinatra his start and whose 1950s version found its most lucrative gigs at the casino hotels in Vegas and at Tahoe. | | | After a stint with the influential Ben Pollack Orchestra, and an early first marriage, James joined the wildly popular Benny Goodman band in 1936 at the startlingly early age of 20. | | | Trumpet Blues is the biographical equivalent of a well-produced LP, with not a single weak or wasted track. |

| | Biography for Harry James (I) |
| | James was a great discoverer of talent, finding Frank Sinatra working as a waiter in a New Jersey restaurant and giving him a job singing in his band. | | | In 1936 James joined Ben Pollack's band and left to lead the brass section in Benny Goodman's band. | | | His version of "You Made Me Love You" was a big hit and a favorite of many through the war years (he once applied to Lawrence Welk's band but was turned down because they said he played too loud and it was not Welk's style). |

| | If you have never bought a Harry James album, this would be a good place to start -- a solid introduction to his music, without the distraction of the uneven early recordings. | | | Yes, these are remakes of some of Harry James' great songs from the 1930s, but it is great to hear James recorded on first-rate Capitol Records equipment in the mid-1950s. | | | Big Band music is wonderful, and this is much more rewarding to listen to than the scratchy old masters from 20 years earlier. |

| | The son of circus performers, James learned to play drums at age 4 and the trumpet at 8; when he was 12 he led one of the circus bands. | | | James formed his own band in 1939, but not until 1941, when he introduced the song “You Made Me Love You,” did his band become an overnight sensation. | | | James, however, remained the number one soloist with the Goodman orchestra and soared to fame with his interpretations of such songs as “Ridin' High,” “Sing Sing Sing,” “One O'Clock Jump,” and “Life Goes to a Party.” |

| | Harry James |
| | For more than 40 years Harry James was one of the top band leaders in the country, discovering talent such as Frank Sinatra and marrying everybody's sweetheart, Betty Grable. | | | He learned his trade thanks to the likes of Ben Pollack and Benny Goodman, but moving off to form his own band in 1939, beginning his recording career the following year. | | | Through the years he proved that he was never tied to a "norm." When his jazz following was growing during World War II James recorded classical music and ballads. |

| | James' marriage to Betty Grable, moreover, created a public relations ambiguity, giving James access to the dizzying world of Hollywood royalty without removing him from the rough and tumble byways of the traveling bandleader. | | | Trumpet Blues presents an interesting contrast to Gene Lees' recent biography of Woody Herman, The Leader of the Band (reviewed in The Mississippi Rag, January 1996). | | | As a trumpeter, James’ musical style and technique are insightfully discussed. |

| | Three months later he was a featured sideman with the Benny Goodman Band, a springboard to forming his own swinging, Basie-style band in January 1939. | | | Ironically, James's biggest hits with his own band were not the upbeat numbers like "Two O'clock Jump," but the dulcet-tone, non-jazz solos like "You Made Me Love You." James continued to play in the style of his favorite horn men, Louis Armstrong and Muggsy Spanier, and the band remained widely popular into the late 1950s. | | | One of the star trumpet players of the swing era, 20-year-old James made his recording debut with the Ben Pollack Band in September 1936. |
