What are some great big band CD's by more obscure bands of the 30s and 40s?
I've covered the well known big bands, and am looking for some of the more obscure, but great, recordings. I've discovered Charlie Spivak, Dolly Dawn, Larry Clinton, and Roy McKinley. Anyone know of some others?
Joel Shaw & His Orchestra (Gene Kardos & His Orchestra) on Crown label:
Here is a CD:

Generally spoken, these Crown records always contain obscure bands, such as the following:
