From 1939, here's some smokin' swing music from Charlie Barnet. I don't know who provides the killer trumpet solo (although I believe Billy May was with the band at the time, so maybe he's the guy).
Bonus video! Speaking of wicked trumpets, here's a brief clip of the Freddie Rich band, featuring a rare video snippet of the great trumpet player, Bunny Berigan. There's also a good clarinet solo by Jimmy Dorsey, and a nice sax solo by someone I don't recognize (but feel that I should).

So that's Bunny Berrigan, and Charlie Barnett. Wow, great sounds they get on their saxes.
ReplyDeleteOops, I'm a fan of sax solos, so that's what I focused on. 'someone I don't recognize (but feel that I should)' - ditto!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do what research I can and see if I can identify the sax man.
ReplyDeleteJust looking at tenor players with receding hairline, could be Ralph Rosenlund (also spelled Rosenland) who ended up with Artie Shaw's small combos.
ReplyDeleteCould be.
