Bunny Berigan & His Boys - Feb 1936 - Feb 1937

Bunny Berigan & His Boys, Feb 1936 - Feb 1937, is a release by Retrieval Records, a division of Challenge Records.

It was Louis Armstrong who said, Bunny was great, but had no business dying that young. Bunny was born Rowland Bernard Berigan, in Calumet, Wisconsin, on 1 November 1908, and died in New York on 2 June 1942 at the age of 33. In his short career, he blazed across the musical sky like a comet, reaching heights that no other white trumpeter of those times had been able to reach, before sadly dying of health issues related to his alcoholism.
