I'm guessing Benny did Hora as an intentional act of sabotage, to prevent Harry from being able to record it, since he was with the same label. Benny was known for doing sneaky, underhanded tactics like that - did it with Tommy Dorsey a lot when they were both with RCA in the late '30s...

So I was wondering why James never did a studio recording of this tune. Then I remembered that Benny Goodman recorded his own version (for Columbia, which James also recorded with for many years) in 1946. The Goodman version is eerily similar to this one too, with a full string section and everything, which Goodman rarely used. And Benny recorded his version just as he was headed out the door to join Capitol Records.

@satenu78 Where's your constitution? Or your 27 amendments?
Harry James was the inspiration for countless youngsters including me. I mean no disrespect to Mendez, Vizzutti, Satchmo or any of the other greats including my friend Miles. Harry James was all our fantasies and dreams rolled up into a real live entertainer and the girls adored him as well. Hey! He married America's pin-up girl Betty Grable. His fantastic full bodied romantic sound and renditions of the classics is unequalled. Eddie in New York

@satenu78 what you must remember is that james was a showman -- read his biography, and until you live in a civilised place then you may get some creedence
