I've also delved into his other recordings, and it's wonderful to hear the control he had. He helped pave the way for guys like Sonny Dunham, Randy Brooks, Harry James, Charlie Spivak, etc.

Steve i know you must have done that tune justice.I once was in White Plains New York at a street fair and there was a trumpet player who was working the fair with a small band.Well he shock me when he played I Cant Get Started solo by himself.He sounded great on a bach 72.I told him who i was and how good he played it.He also plays at a club in Manhattan and invited me to come hear them but i lost his card.The guys who played with that kind of tone to me sound better.Thanks Wayne
