Ray Anthony & His Orchestra - I Remember Harlem Brother Fats

Review by Stacey Westbrook

Ray Anthony & His Orchestra's album "I Remember Harlem Brother Fats" takes the listener on a journey through the vibrant and soulful sound of Harlem in the 1930s and 40s. The album features a collection of classic jazz and swing tracks, with Anthony's trumpet leading the way.

The album opens with the upbeat and infectious "Tuxedo Junction," setting the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include the smooth and sultry "Stompin' at the Savoy" and the lively "Jumpin' at the Woodside."

Anthony's trumpet playing is impeccable throughout the album, showcasing his mastery of the instrument and his deep understanding of the genre. The rest of the orchestra provides a solid foundation for Anthony's solos, with each member contributing to the overall sound of the record.
