Album Notes & Community Reviews
The set collects the cornetist's celebrated 1927 OKeh sessions with Frankie Trumbauer's orchestra, including 'Singin' the Blues' and his own piano solo 'In a Mist'. Both performances were later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, twin monuments to a career ended by his death at twenty-eight.
