  • Back about Nov '44, the guys in the band got together and worked up a birthday tribute to the "greatest little man" ----it romped and rampaged and had a sax passage in it that would have easily roused the dead within 35 miles. It was the most classic of romp-and-stomping lease busters I've ever heard and I'd give anything now to lay hands on it. I heard it for the first and last time while out driving before they had car tape decks you could instantly record radio music on. It was an air check.

  • Jan died in 1948 at the age of 35, I believe of a brain tumor. Senseless loss

  • Again one of my favourite swing bands....
