Opus One Harry James 1945

Willie Smith had only recently joined The Harry James Orchestra when this 1945 airshot was aired. He shows the immediate change in leading the sax section he made for the Band.

Johnny Thompson's driving arrangement of the Sy Oliver classic "Opus One" also features Willie on alto, my old bandmate Don Boyd on trombone, Corky Corcran on tenor...and Harry James.
