[78-L] Singing behind and in front of the beat

[Kristjan Saag]

Al Bowlly never "had" an orchestra - the one on the Bluebird recording 
(New York, December 3 1937) was a studio group.

Simon mention him having one and that was where I got most of my information on him.I knew of him by way of his singing with Ray Noble in 1935 when Glenn Miller put Noble's American band together for him.I have recordings of that band on RCA Camden.
