[78-L] Les Brown tenorist

[Kristjan Saag]

Do we have any Les Brown connoisseurs out there?
If so: who's doing the tenor sax solo at the beginning of "Dance Of The 
Blue Devils" (1937 recording)? The band (Les Brown & The Duke University 
Blue Devils) had two guys on tenor sax, according to Rust (1982 
edition): Dutch McMillan and Gus Brannon.
The former has to be Dutch McMillin, who later became a famous session 
saxophonist in Memphis. McMillin led one of the bands at Duke University 
at the time (The Ambassadors), Les Brown formed The Blue Devils at 
Duke's a few years earlier.
