@johnnycchops God, you're right!
Listening closely near the end of that solo, you can clearly hear Smith coming in behind Thomas. I've got a few other Lunceford records (1937's "Annie Laurie" comes to mind) where Joe Thomas takes a higher register on his tenor solo, but I'd always took for granted that this was Willie. Good ear, johnny!

that first solo is actually Joe Thomas on tenor. Upper register, but a tenor. And in his own inimtable style...

Nah, Dan was best suited for these numbers, for sure.
And, IMO, he's nowhere near as unlistenable as Perry Coma. ;)

Dan Grissom sang in a lot of the Lunceford's ballads. Some think that he was so bad that they called him "Dan Gruesome." Personally, I don't think that he's that bad at all.

Crap, you're right, johnny. Apologies.
That's the 2nd time I've done that with these videos - first was when I incorrectly inserted a photo & credit to Ben Webster when it was actually Al Sears on tenor in Duke Ellington's "Swamp Fire".
Freddy's not even present here - in double checking the original label, trumpets are indeed Gerald Wilson, PAUL Webster & Snookie Young.
Thanks again, johnny. I'm far from perfect & this just taught me you can never be too careful. ;)

trumpet man is actually Gerald Wilson
