If those are Reeves mxs. they would fall just before the Jess Stacy/Bud Freeman Commodore session on June 13, 1939

I've always been under the impression that Lee Wiley's Harold Arlen album was recorded in 1945. For Schirmer, despite the LP issue that credits it as being on LMS. Rust doesn't list the session, but lo and behold..Lord puts it in February 1942. Anyone know for sure? Lord says "1943" is the erroneous date. Where did 1945 come from? Aside from the liner to Ember 829 (I don't have the Monmouth Evergreen Fake Stereo issue).[W5788-7] Lee WileyLee Wiley Acc By Eddie Condon's Quintet/Sextet:Lee Wiley (vcl) acc by Billy Butterfield (tp-1) Ernie Caceres (cl,bar) Dave Bowman (p) Eddie Condon (g) Bob Haggart (b) George Wettling (d)New York, c.

It is now believed the recordings were probably made much earlier.A strike against recording companies by the American Federation of Musicians went into effect on August 1, 1942. The earliest company to settle with the union and sign a contract was Decca on September 18, 1943, Capitol settled on October 9, 1943, most of the smaller labels (presumably including Schirmer) settled on November 3, 1943. Victor and Columbia held out until November 11, 1944.
