Great Trumpet Solos
We get back to the moody swing/light music thing now, beginning with a couple of reels I found in a thrift store a long time ago... what's so different? These are Japanese issues! I'll get through these somewhat quickly, but as a curiosity, I loaded this one up, and WHOA. NICELY surprised. Granted, the high end could knock the top off of a bottle of Kirin, but these cats can PLAY!
Whomever the horn player os for the Francis Bay Orchestra, my hats are off to him, he certainly displays some chops. The arrangements are a bit stock-standard-ish, but the band has a good ensemble sense, and can cut loose as required.
If anyone has any info on who these people are, kindly forward?

The front...
The back...
Sit back in your easy chair, pop open a bottle of Sapporo, and picture yourself on a balcony in 1964 Tokyo, with some Great Trumpet Solos on your Sony.

Here is some info on the Francis Bay Orch.

"Great Trumpet Solos" were by Charlie Knegtell with the Francis Bay Orchestra, and originally licensed in USA by Omegatapes. The original recordings are pre-1958 early stereo Belgian, with "no center channel" as all of Francis Bay's sound-alike Big Band "tribute" recordings were. Anybody know who owns the rights to those recordings? Tim of tanignak.com
