I just found a copy of this thing...I've never heard of the label or the
orchestra. The label on the flip side ("Don't Cry") lists soloists
including Billy Butterfield, Ernie Caceres, Al Caiola and Freddy
Ohms...all busy in the NY studios around 1948-50 or so when I assume this
was recorded.
BTW the recording sound is excellent...very clean and the solos on "Don't
Cry" are perfectly miked. The trombone section is so smooth and blended
that it almost sounds like the same guy overdubbed playing all the parts.
Anybody know anything about Larry Wagner, this record, or this label?

BTW composer credits on both sides read "Wagner-Eaton-Shuman."
