boyd raeburn--experiments in big band jazz 1945-musicraft
earle spencer--the almost forgotten pioneer of modern big band jazz 1946-49-iajrc
two almost forgotten big bands.raeburns orchestra was one of the finest, but was unsuccessful.
spencers kenton inspired band was at times quite brilliant, but unfortunately never achieved any success.
if you see his one album that contains all his 78s, get it you wont be disapointed.a superb big band not
unlike kenton, but different.this band should have made it, a big pity that it didnt. gord
