Description:
This CD contains a particularly successful session Wingy Manone made for the small ARA label. Some of these tracks were also issued on Rex-Hollywood, another tiny label notable for the few but amazing jazz records it issued at the time. Kay Starr sat in on an eminently swinging version of "If I Could Be With You" with Manone taking the second vocal that leads into a rousing finish on this excellent track. The first date for Joe Davis own label features Manone with a somewhat odd formation comprising swing veterans and modernist Chuck Wayne on guitar. Six months later he recorded in New York again with a studio formation. Back in California in late 1945, he made two fine tracks for Gilt Edge.
