Procedente de una familia dedicada a la farándula, - su padre dirigía la orquesta de un circo - el trompetista y director de orquesta, Harry James, tuvo su primer contacto profesional con la banda de Ben Pollack en 1935 con quien graba por primera vez un disco en 1936.
Ese mismo año se enrola en la orquesta de swing mas popular de la época, la del clarinetista, Benny Goodman con quien estuvo hasta 1939.
La popularidad que obtuvo de su permanencía en la orquesta de Goodman, le permitió formar su propio grupo en la que contó con la presencia del vocalista, Frank Sinatra y de algunos solistas de renombre como los bateristas Buddy Rich o Louie Bellson.
El repertorio de su orquesta no se ciñó solo al jazz y ello le permitió abrir su música a la llamada del cine participando en Hollywood en mas de veinte comedias musicales - es famosa su doblaje de trompeta a Kirk Douglas en la película de Michael Curtiz, titulada: "Young Man With a Horn" - y fue en su época una de las orquesta blancas de jazz mas famosas junto a la de los Hermanos Dorsey o la del propio Benny Goodman.
Durante los años cincuenta y sesenta grabó infinidad de discos con innumerable artistas y músicos y la versatilidad de su orquesta le servía para tocar swing o para participar en los salones de baile de la época.
Con el tiempo redujo la banda a un octeto, ganando en consistencia en los arreglos y en 1960 volvió a reorganizar su orquesta.
Tras un breve periodo de retiro de los escenarios, Harry James, siguió cultivando con éxito su particular visión de la música de la era del swing.
Falleció en 1983 en Las Vegas.
------
Harry James was born in a rundown hotel next door to the city jail in Albany, Georgia.
His mother and father were members of a circus, she as a trapeze artist and he a bandleader with the Mighty Haag Circus.
At seven Harry played drums and his family moved to Beaumont, Texas. At 12 he played trumpet in the Christy Brothers circus band.
In 1936 James joined Ben Pollack's band and left to lead the brass section in Benny Goodman's band.
After three years with Goodman, he wanted to leave, and with Goodman's backing he formed the Music Makers.
He made his debut in Philadelphia at the Ben Franklin Hotel and soon was a nationwide favorite of dance lovers and jazz addicts alike while rocking the rafters at the Hollywood Paladium, Chicago's famous College Inn at the Hotel Sherman, Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook in Cedar Cove, NJ, and then onto New York City.
It was the Lincoln Hotel that the Music Makers called home in New York City, but James also starred at the Paramount Theater in the spring of 1943 when thousands of teenagers flocked to see him.
His version of "You Made Me Love You" was a big hit and a favorite of many through the war years (he once applied to Lawrence Welk's band but was turned down because they said he played too loud and it was not Welk's style).
James was a great discoverer of talent, finding Frank Sinatra working as a waiter in a New Jersey restaurant and giving him a job singing in his band.
Dick Haymes (an Argentinian), Kitty Kallen, Connie Haines and Helen Forrest can all thank James for giving them their first real break.
In 1963 his band was featured at Disneyland and they were still known as the Music Makers.
He played his last gig at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on June 26, 1983.
