<P> The late jazz trumpeter Richard M. Sudhalter, noted the changes that had been made since the Vocalion recording . "An introduction--an extended cadenza over four different sustained chords in the key of C--had been added by this time, but otherwise Berigan's routine had not changed since the Vocalion recording . But whereas the Vocalion comes across as a virtuoso performance of a great song, the Victor version presents itself as a kind of concerto, a tour de force for a trumpeter of imagination and daring having impeccable command of his instrument ." </P> <P> The Berigan band's recordings of "I Can't Get Started" and "The Prisoner's Song" were issued together on the twelve - inch Victor record 36208, and were a part of an album of four such records entitled A Symposium of Swing . An edited version was created by Victor on December 4, 1937 and issued as 25728A to enable it to fit on a ten - inch 78rpm disc for use on jukeboxes . </P> <P> Berigan's recording on trumpet is a virtuoso work that defines the range of the instrument . Berigan displays here a mastery of expression, of emotional nuance, beyond what most trumpet players can perform . </P> <P> The recording was an immediate hit and reached 10th place on the charts . His band, unfortunately, was short - lived, and he himself died in 1942 at age 33 . In 1975, thirty three years after his death, Berigan's 1937 recording of "I Can't Get Started" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . The recording was also used in the films Save the Tiger, Chinatown, and The Big Shave . </P>
