Charlie Barnet's band was really at its peak during the 1942-46 period and such soloists as trumpeters Peanuts Holland, the high-note master Al Killian and (guesting on a 1944 session) Roy Eldridge, clarinetist Buddy DeFranco, pianists Al Haig and Dodo Marmarosa and guitarist Barney Kessel make contributions. Kay Starr is heard here on "Share Croppin' Blues."
