[78-L] Jazztime (F)251284 CD Maîtree Du Jazz Français (trompettes 1930/41)

    3 titles from the session (all titles under Fletcher Allen's name) were issued on another EMI Jazztime CD "Americans In Paris"(good CD too, the excellent Big Boy Goudie session is there with one of my favorites Jacques Butler, but I think all of those were issued on Lp as well on the same series that the Lp you mentioned is on, though that LP you spoke of has some excellent Harry Cooper as well).
regarding that session:

Fletcher Allen and his Orchestra : Pierre Allier (tp) Fletcher Allen, Charles Lisée (as) Alix Combelle (ts)Ray Stokes (p) Marcel Bianchi (g) Tony Rovira (b) Pierre Fouad (d)
Paris, March 15, 1938
OSW-20-1 What'll I do ? Swing (F)36, Pathé (F)CO54-16024
OSW-21-1 Swingin' in Paris (F)29
OSW-22-1 Fletcher's stomp -

... all three titles also issued on a CD "Americans In Paris" (252.715 -2) for years I have wondered why only 3 titles for this rather fine orchestra, here is why...

Pierre Allier (tp) Alix Combelle (ts,cl) Charles Lisée, Fletcher Allen (as) Ray Stokes (p) Marcel Bianchi(g) Tony Rovira (b) Pierre Fouad (d)
Paris, March 15, 1938
OSW23-1 Jam men Swing (F)25, Jazztime (F)251284-2
OSW24-1 Peter stomp - , -

I really like the three titles I have, want the other two (and knowing my luck they were on some recent auction and I did not knew I was going to study Allier so much), and will let you know if I ever obtain them. Maybe this is the year I try to obtain more disque Swing recordings (why doesn't Mosaic do that one I wonder?)
all the best (time to listen to Frankie Newton, after all it is his birthday)
