During a career that spanned eight decades, James Eugene 'Rosy' McHargue (1902-1999) was known and respected as a clarinetist, arranger, vocalist, and as a brilliant performer on the rarely heard C-melody saxophone. In his later years he became a friend and mentor to aspiring young musicians such as Dan Levinson, to whom he bequeathed a trunk full of his arrangements. 'Where the Morning Glories Grow: A Centennial Remembrance of Rosy McHargue' is Dan's loving tribute to the man and his music - novelty songs, hot jazz stomps, and tender, heart-wrenching tales of lost love - all arranged by Rosy and recorded for the first time. Most of the musicians on this CD are disciples of Rosy, who performed with him, admired him, and were admired by him. [PERFORMERS: Dan Levinson, Corey Gemme, Dick Miller, Keith Elliott, Geoff Nudell, Bob Reitmeier, Robbie Rhodes, John Reynolds, Westy Westenhofer, Larry Wright, James Langton; with special guests Randy Reinhart and Ian Whitcomb]
