[Dixielandjazz] Re: Krupa's trumpeter Revisited

[Robert Newman]

That's interesting, Bill.   I have it,  also,  and in the Proper Records 
Gene Krupa Story collection, he says the trumpets were Eldridge, Norman 
Murphy, Torg Halten, and Graham Young, but he says it was recorded in 
Chicago on August 18, 1941, on Okeh 6352.  Was Okeh a Columbia label? 
Maybe the discs used in the ProperBox CD series were Okeh reissues. 
Possible?
