Harry James And His Orchestra - Crazy Rhythm Easter Parade
Review by Angelina Francisca
The album Crazy Rhythm Easter Parade by Harry James And His Orchestra is a delightful collection of swing and jazz music that is sure to get anyone's toes tapping. The album features a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks, all expertly performed by the talented musicians in the band.
From the upbeat opening track "Crazy Rhythm" to the smooth and sultry "I Had the Craziest Dream," the album showcases the range and versatility of Harry James And His Orchestra. The band's signature sound is characterized by James' impressive trumpet skills, which are on full display throughout the album.
One standout track is "Easter Parade," a classic tune that is given new life by the band's energetic rendition. The vocals on this track, provided by Marion Morgan and Buddy Moreno, are also a highlight. Another standout is "The Mole," a playful instrumental piece that showcases the band's tight rhythms and expert improvisation.

Never saw you dress quite so handsome, what's more
I can hardly wait to keep our date, this lovely Easter morning,
And my heart beat fast as I came through the door.
For...
In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'd be the grandest fellow in the Easter parade,
I'll be all in clover and when they look us over,
We'll be the proudest couple in the Easter parade.
On the avenue, 5th Avenue,
The photographers will sanp us,
And you'll find that you're in the Rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet, about your Easter bonnet,
And of the guy I'm taking to the Easter Parade.
