[78-L] Bill Elliot

[Kristjan Saag]

Well, there were two Dorseys, as we all know, and Bill Elliott's 1948 
appearances on the movie music album happened to be with Jimmy Dorsey.

Lord has seven entries for tenor saxophonist Bill Elliott (note: two 
t's) between 1948-1956.

There's no trace of Bill Elliott in Feather though.

However, there was a Elliott Brothers Orchestra (The Date-Niters) in the 
1950's and 1960's, working in Disneyland, with Bill on tenor sax and 
Lloyd on trombone. They also recorded swing-based material for MGM in 
the 1950's (as The Elliott Brothers Orchestra) - and, to complete the 
picture: brother Lloyd is featured on the 1948 Jimmy Dorsey recording as 
well.
