Bill Harris - 2008 - Complete Fifties Sessions

This double CD collection comprises the only three albums Bill Harris recorded under his own name throughout his extended career. In the 40s, during the 78 r.p.m. era, Harris had made just four short sessions under his own name and after the LPs presented here, he would never again record a session of his own until his death on August 21, 1973. These three amazing albums include some real big names like Ben Webster, Jimmy Rowles and Red Mitchell.
