Eddie Howard - Eddie Howard and His Orchestra 1949-1953

Eddie Howard and His Orchestra  1949-1953 By Eddie Howard Good Condition. (CD and jewel case are in very good condition. Back insert has a slight waviness. ) Popular vocalist Eddy Howard (1914-1963) formed his own band in 1941, after making a series of records with bandleader Dick Jurgens and various small jazz groups supervised by producer John Hammond. Both elements -- the sweet swinging dance band sound of Jurgens and the genuine jazz preferred by Hammond -- are strongly present in Circle's 24-track anthology of radio transcription recordings made by Eddy Howard and His Orchestra during the years 1949-1953. There are full-blown post-Bix Beiderbecke Dixieland swing numbers like "At the Jazz Band Ball," "'Way Down Yonder in New Orleans," "Coquette," and "Cheyenne," a springy little number penned by one Harry K. Williams. Gooseflesh-inducing cornball vocals erupt during apple pie melodies such as "Little Brown Jug," "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas," and "Oh, Mona!" a rowdy singalong
