Is it possible that the "Charlie Frazier" on this recording is the same 
Charlie Frazier who played with the Jimmy Dorsey band from 1935 until 1943? 
If so, it is a revelation to me. Charlie lived in North Arlington, NJ and 
taught sax and clarinet in Newark.  He played with my father's band in the 
late 1940s and 1950s. He taught me. He was a great teacher, but he moved to 
Clearwater, Fl, in 1961 and died there in 1987. His son Rich is in Las Vegas 
and was in the 1990s, the musicial director for Wayne Newton.

He was a nice man and a great musician.
