CBS master LA 2124-A, rec. Los Angeles, 25 January 1940.
Unknown vocal group.
I can't tell you anything about these guys and what seems to be their only recording, but I know a few things about Bobby Hackett.
Hackett had his first successes as a guitar player, although he alway loved his cornet. When he really hit the scene in the early 30s, he was hailed as Bix Beiderbecke's successor because of his melodious style. In Benny Goodman's legendary Carnegie Hall Concert in 1938 he played "I'm coming Virginia" in tribute to Beiderbecke. He formed his own orchestra in 1939 and recorded a few sides with them (one of which you have here), but afer just half a year was bankrupt. He took a well-payed job with Horace Heidt to pay off his considerable debts, but developed dental problems. He found a new job in Glenn Miller's orchestra playing the guitar, but occasionally was able to pick up his horn (the famous "String of pearls" solo is his). After his health was restored, he continued playing right up to his death in 1976, and the list of his partners is a reals Who's Who of jazz.

@busessuck1 It definitely is stuck in that era. It truly was difficult to sing as tightly-tuned as these guys do, though!

Excellent playing
Though I don't like the harmony singing, I guess because it's so overused in 50s music it just sounds repetitive for me
