Biografía:
Harry Haag James (Albany, 15 de marzo de 1916 – 5 de julio de 1983) fue un director de big band y trompetista estadounidense.
Hijo de un director de orquesta de un circo itinerante, a la edad de 10 años recibió lecciones de trompeta de su padre, que le sometió a una dura disciplina musical, utilizando para ello el método Arban.
En 1931 la familia se trasladó a Beaumont (Texas) y James empezó a tocar con orquestas locales de baile. Se unió al popular Ben Pollack en 1935 y a comienzos de 1937 se unió a la orquesta de Benny Goodman.

So I tipped my hat and slowly rode away
