Frankie Newton Frankie Newton Collection 1929-46 - 3-Disc CD Album

Frankie Newton was a much-admired trumpeter whose recording career spanned two highly significant decades from the 1920s through to the 1940s during which time his adaptable, mellow swinging style made him a popular sideman in many different leaders' bands while he also led his own orchestras and small bands in sessions that produced some marvellously entertaining recordings. This great-value 69-track 3-CD set comprises recordings from across his active career, showcasing a highly entertaining range of jazz styles. A substantial tribute to a musician who merits much more attention.
