Prior to the second world war Harry James was a ‘name’. In 1939 this trumpet player/composer founded his own orchestra with which he undertook a series of successful tours. Naohiro Iwai wrote this solo for trumpet with wind band accompaniment as an ode to Harry James, making use of the golden oldies Sleepy Lagoon and Ciribiribin.

Cette pièce est un hommage une figure importante du jazz des années 30 et 40 : Harry James, trompettiste virtuose dont le style a inspiré le jeu d’artistes comme Chet Baker. Harry James s’illustre d’abord auprès de Benny Goodman, mais décide de fonder sa propre formation en 1939 et en fait l’un des Orchestres de Swing les plus réputés de l’époque. Il engage notamment Frank Sinatra et reprend des classiques tels que Sleepy Lagoon d’Eric Coates et Ciribiribin d’Alberto Pestalozza. Naohiro Iwai a rassemblé ces deux succès dans un arrangement pour Trompette Solo et Orchestre d’Harmonie.
