Sorry John,
I forgot to reply to that bit in your message.
Where did Graham Young's name come from in relation to the Tommy  
Dorsey orch?
The only connection I can find is that he and pianist Milt Raskin  
worked together in the Gene Krupa band in 1941, just prior to Raskin  
going over to TD.
Young's first records were made in Chicago in 1940 with Raymond  
Scott's band.
He then moved to New York and recorded with Gene Krupa's Orch (Jan  
1941- Jan 1942).
 From early 1946 to Sept 1947 he worked with Tex Beneke's Glenn Miller  
Band.
He was with the Ken Hanna and Jerry Gray Orchs in Los Angeles in the  
1950s and appears to have settled there, working in the studios as  
during the 1950s to 1970s he appeared on records by Henry Mancini,  
Frankie Carle and Billy May.
The last record session I have with Mr Young was in a small group led  
by pianist/vocalist Robert Hicks in 1992.
Kind regards,
Bill.
