Urbie Green Plays Jimmy McHugh

Here's my first attempt at a rar download. Thanks to a fellow music blogger for giving me detailed instructions. Hopefully this successful and useful for those of you who enjoy these classic albums. This is the MONO version of the album. The cover photo was snagged from a website selling the album for some ridiculous price. Urbie Green was a wonderful trombonist and one of the top studio men in NYC in the 50s and 60s. Legend has it that he was to be the original leader of the new Tommy Dorsey Orchestra after Tommy died. Tommy's wife heard the band in rehearsal and suggested Urbie play softer. He picked up his horn and walked out the rehearsal - never to return again. (Please note that several tracks are missing. These were damaged beyond cleanup by my digital system. The copy came from a radio station library and wasn't in the best of shape.

  3. Si es su primer archivo compacto que sube, no esta nada mal. La orquesta es muy buena
    lo mismo que el trombonista. Esta clase de musica nunca se oyo aquí en Colombia
