[Fletch]

A little too modern-aires for 1937

This yet-to-be famous vocal group knocked around from band to band for years before their smooth high-pitch blend impressed the public. Here they are with George Hall's good CBS ork on a brace of 20th-Fox movie tunes.

Fess Williams was a sax and clarinet man and, as you'll hear, quite phenomenal. He was also the uncle of Charles Mingus--one of my big bass-playing heroes. Evidently a tremendous amount of talent running through that family.
