Tab Smith Orchestra with Trevor Bacon

[dankarlsberg]

Does anyone have any information on the personnel of this session. It is Decca 8661, and the two sides are: "You Lovely You", and "I'll Live True to You". I think it is from 1944. It is a small group session, and I really dig the band. I have not been able to find anything online.

I would love to know the other musicians if anyone can help. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you so much! Wow, i really expected to know who the trumpet and tenor were, but I don't. Which is actually pretty exciting, because now i get to look them up and check them out more.

Thanks again.
