Soft Lights, Sweet Trumpet

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing the remarkably lush, romantic side of the legendary bandleader's repertoire, 'Soft Lights, Sweet Trumpet' is a masterful exercise in mood execution. Harry James employs a heavy, soaring vibrato over sweeping, velvety orchestral arrangements designed for sophisticated listening rather than energetic dancing. The record perfectly captures the elegant transition of swing icons into the mid-century easy listening market.
