Dick Haymes with Harry James & His Orchestra
How High The Moon

Description

Dick Haymes was one of the most naturally gifted vocalists of the swing era, possessed of a warm baritone that made him a rival to Sinatra himself during the 1940s. This CD brings together his work alongside Harry James and His Orchestra, one of the era’s most swinging and commercially successful big bands. Highlights include the dreamy ‘Skylark’, the soaring title track ‘How High The Moon’, and the tender ‘I Don’t Want To Walk Without You’, with additional vocals from Helen Forrest — the powerhouse singer whose chemistry with James was legendary. It’s an essential document of the golden age of big band vocal performance…
