Got The Jitters

Another (out of print) nice find in my quest for Chick Bullock tunes was the music of Don Redman. Redman played mostly clarinet or saxophones, and is known for arranging the charts for Fletcher Henderson in the 1920s, and many of his arrangements became hits for other such as Paul Whiteman, Bing Crosby, Isham Jones, Jimmy Dorsey, Count Basie and Harry James. After leaving Henderson's band in 1927, Don Redman took over McKinney's Cotton Pickers which rivaled the bands of Ellington and Henderson, ultimately leaving in 1931 to form his own band. The Cotton Pickers lasted three more years before disbanding, while Redman continued with success. This collection includes six vocals by Chick Bullock (noted below by an asterisk), but also has some fine vocals by Harlan Lattimore. Redman is the great-uncle of saxophonist Joshua Redman. +
