Derek Coller wrote a bio-dg of Stacy, publ by Jazzology 1997.
It lists a single Heidt transcription date:
broadcast, 5 Apr 1944, on ONS 200.
Except some intros & accompaniments, the only Stacy solo on it is
Rosetta, by p/b/d.
Starting 5 Aug, he is on the Condon Town Hall broadcasts.

On one of the Eddie Condon Town Hall concerts, Condon is heard to say 
during Stacy's playing: "Eat your heart out Horace Heidt!"

In the notes to Aircheck #26 ("Jess Stacy on the air"), Derek Coller 
says: "...in April Stacy joined the Horace Heidt Orchestra...By August 
1944 the Heidt show...had reached New York City...He left Horace Heidt 
during October to rehearse his own big band."

Does this mean that there would be Horace Heidt Show transcriptions out 
there?

Did Joyce do a Heidt discography?

>>> I imagine most jazz collectors would overlook Heidt ET's so there could well be something interesting lurking out there. 6 months would be a long dry spell for a popular outfit like HH to be completely unrecorded. Hindsight put out an LP "vol 2 1943-5" anybody got it?
