While I don't like Harry James' hot trumpeting, it must be admitted that his playing on "Flight of the Bumble Bee" is excellent technically speaking.

The twenty year old refugee from Jimmy Dorsey's outfit is turning out a steady series of good tune expositions, "Busy as a Bee" being" being his newest.
