Product Description:

(2-CD set) Harry Finkelman was born in Philadelphia, but his family settled in Atlantic City, New Jersey when he was four. His father was a violinist who had hoped Harry would play violin. Although he did learn to play violin, he preferred brass instruments. In 1932 he made his first recording where he played trombone. At some point in the decade he adopted the name 'Ziggy Elman' and began to play the trumpet for which he is best known. In 1936 Elman joined the Benny Goodman orchestra after playing briefly with Alex Bertha's local big band at Steel Pier in Atlantic City, where Goodman heard him and was impressed. His 1939 composition 'And the Angels Sing,' with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, (originally recorded in December 1938 by his own band as an instrumental) was to become a number one hit and is still popular today. Although the personnel lineups on a number of these recordings by his own orchestra are unknown, it was noted to include many of the great jazz musicians of the day including Charlie Shavers, Louis Bellson, Boomie Richman, Red Ballard. Babe Russin and many more of the same calibre.
