UK Master Pressing
Recorded in New York on January 23, 1935

A lovely UK master pressing of the infectious “Whose Honey Are You?” by Henry “Red” Allen and his Orchestra.

Recorded in January of 1935 and released in the UK on the colorful “Swing Series”, this recording features a Buster Bailey clarinet solo bursting with energy sandwiched between two contrasting trumpet solos by Allen and Pee Wee Erwin. The excellent rhythm section of Pops Foster and Paul Barbarin keeps the swing swung.
