Oh yes -- you havce to include this guy. One listen to his work on 
Shaw;s Stardust and you have to be sold.
Another one I forgot to mention -- a tad later, but faciel in both trad 
styles and smooth pop was Ted Vesley. Ted could play wonderfully in 
every style that paid money regularly, but his jazz work was 
outstanding. His small combo in L.A inthe 40's had Stand Story on 
calrinet -- another forgotten player, Bobby Higgins on Cornet, Earl 
Sturgis on Pinao and Red Cooper (one of several) on drums.Just a 
delightful band, though hard to find, since bands ski[pped all over L.A. 
from small joint to another- Few Except Pete Daily and Red Nichols ever 
seemed to hold down long stays.
Getting good again -- keep them coming. Beat watching raccoons steal the 
seed out of our bird feeders for entertainment.
