“....a magical musical homage to the distinctive Harry James sounds and his unforgettable arrangements from his theme, Ciribiribin to You Made Me Love You, Ultra, and Trumpet Blues. Louise, the only woman to join the James trumpet section during Harry's life, plays all the famous solos, and her own rich tone, virtuosity and feeling for jazz perfectly evokes a legendary past.”

“Louise Baranger proved to be a wonderful interview source for my books on Harry James, Trumpet Blues, and the forthcoming September in the Rain -- The Life of Nelson Riddle. She was a member of both of these great orchestras and had vivid memories of working for both leaders.

“...this entails not only [her] being able to provide a valid replica of Harry's hits but also the jazz arrangements which were so much a part of his library as well.”
