Walter Iooss (Eye-ooss, rhyming with juice, is how Benny pronounces it on a live recording) was also there. Kirby turns up in December 1938, with either Buddy Schutz or Hampton on drums. Slam Stewart turns up in 1945, with Red Norvo on vibes.

Oh, Gee!!  I'm glad I didn't try to guess the Bassist!

I can't find the "Flying Home" book that Dian mentioned on Amazon.  Lots 
of entries, but nothing that really fits "100 years of good vibes."
