Description
Here's the 1933 debut of HORACE HENDERSON'S ORCHESTRA - actually brother Fletcher's band - and WHAT a debut it is! With the likes of HENRY ALLEN (trumpet), DICKY WELLS (trombone), COLEMAN HAWKINS (tenor sax) and RUSSELL PROCOPE (alto sax) on hand, pianist and arranger Horace was off to a great start.
These are blazing hot, uncompromising, take-no-prisoners sides: "HAPPY FEET" and "OL' MAN RIVER" were never delivered with more gusto.
This original 1940 maroon Decca 18172 is in lovely EE+ condition. Pressed from the original 1933 Columbia metal parts.

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
