I am looking for the name of the arrangers for 2 of Woody's songs on "The Band That Plays The Blues" recorded in 1941 and 1942. The songs are: "String Of Pearls" and "Las  Chiapanecas". The whole session was released on several Decca 78's and subsequently on LP and CD. I have identified 3 candidates but do not know if they arranged the 2 subject songs. They are Deane Kincaid, James "Jiggs" Noble and Lowell Martin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lowell Martin.

Martin had previously played trombone and arranged for Tommy Dorsey and Woody Herman (“Las Chiapanecas”)

String of pearls, composer Jerry Gray and most plausible also the arranger. More Info probably on some Glenn Miller Lpsn here is Bill Finegan also found as arranger.
