[78-L] National Records

[Dan Van Landingham]

I've heard him on both tenor sax and  vocals but he never made an impact on me as a singer.I was in tune,no pun intended,as a tenor sax player.He wasn't Ben Webster or Don Byas.Come to think of it,he
really wasn't Coleman Hawkins either but I never objected to his playing.

I had my head handed to me for daring to suggest that Red Dorris couldn't sing on key if his life depended on it, but the proof is there on those early Kenton transcriptions.
