Recorded at the HMV Abbey Road studios in front of an audience of 1,000 people.

Tony Hall:
"I supervised one record date (1954) with the Tony Hall All-Stars. I used to gather some of the wild guys like Phil Seamen, Joe Temperley and Dizzy Reece - not the usual safe players - and we'd do a gig at a club. I blagged gigs for these assorted groups at all sort of spots including the Festival Hall. We would be a supporting band to the main attraction..."Tony Hall's Hall-Stars - January, 1954 (Planet) Jo Hunter (tp), Joe Temperley (ts), Kenny Napper (p), Sammy Stokes (b), Phil Seamen (d).

Despite the title of the record Harry James does not play on the record below. As you would expect the record features Kenny Baker although Danny Moss gets a few opportunities to solo. The recording was made in London for a US record label and the Harry James Appreciation Society in the UK seems to have been involved...
