		Bunny Berigan's beautiful tone, superb technique and dramatic solos made him one of the brightest lights of the swing era, and he was arguably jazz's top trumpet soloist (along with Louis Armstrong) during his regrettably short prime in the mid-1930s.
		Berigan had been making a lucrative living as a studio musician during the worst years of the depression before he blossomed into prominence, taking some of the most famous solos on Benny Goodman's first hit records.
		But even though Berigan's career was much shorter than it should have been, he went down in history as one of the finest trumpet soloists of the '30s--and this 66-minute collection offers a highly rewarding overview of his work...

		Wisconsin-bred Roland Bernard "Bunny" Berigan hit New York City as the Jazz Age was giving way to the Depression, and quickly established himself as one of the leading hot trumpeters in the jazz capital.
		Berigan possessed a huge tone, true from the top of the horn to the bottom.
		Reissues have generally concentrated on his later recordings, and it's easy to see why -- many of the earliest performances here dwell on fairly dull pop fare of the day, and the protagonist's contributions are often limited to playing the melody and some fills behind the vocalist, and maybe blowing a half-chorus of jazz.
