Corky Corcoran "You Are Too Beautiful" live 1957
- 12 years ago
When Harry James discovered Corky Corcoran in 1941, in hindsight, it was a mixed blessing.
Corky Corcoran had all the skills to be one of the greatest tenor saxophonists of all time. However, the 35 years Corky traveled in and out of the James band, stifled Corky's creativity...not to mention, picking up Harry's bad habits!
Here, Corky plays "You Are Too Beautiful" with the Harry James band in Vienna in 1957.
This is an amazing solo that proves Corky's greatness.
