[Dixielandjazz] Name This Band & Vocalist, Please

[Charlie Hull]

I listened to a bunch of those radio broadcasts. The band sounded very 
charty and lacked pizazz. Dinah Shore was the vocalist on the ones I 
heard. Must've been late forties, early fifties.

Some of those charts were published, with parts for each instrument, all 
in one book.

A footnote--the internet I.D.'d Levine as the leader of a group called the Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street, which had an NBC radio show. I used to hear the program and found the group bland. I had a 78 rpm of the group backing up a Lena Horne on "Aunt Hagar's Blues." It was a pretty wooden performance all around, less swinging than the nice "When My Sugar" Soundie. I don't know the rest of the players but suspect they were heard to better advantage elsewhere,.
