Would James work in an ensemble? I don't think so. He's going to figure 
as a soloist somewhere. Besides the lip is too soft for James. Could 
have been one of the network orks. What was ever recorded by them? I 
remember some pretty sensational stuff done on the old TV shows. Most of 
that is just crumbs now.
I though of Elgart, but most of his stuff is sweet.
