• Track Listing

After arranging (while still in his 20s) for the Dorseys, Bunny Berigan and more, this wonderfully talented trumpeter/trombonist/clarinetist became a star bandleader from the late ’30s to late ’40s. This nicely priced 48-track set is dominated by his 38 hits, which join favorites from his prime Victor, Bluebird and Decca releases. Bea Wain is the vocalist on many of these: "The Big Dipper," "The One Rose (That’s Left in My Heart)," "True Confession," "I Double Dare You," "Always and Always," "Martha," "You’re an Education," "Cry, Baby, Cry," "My Reverie," "Heart and Soul," "Deep Purple," "Comes Love," "I Married an Angel," "You Go to My Head," "Summer Souvenirs," "Old Folks" and more by one of the greatest of the great sweet bands!
