 終戦間際の1944年11月と直後の1945年8月のエアチェックです。戦争中の録音らしく超豪華な編成で、歌手も大勢登場しています。特筆すべきは、1曲のみゲスト出演のCab Calloway (1907-1994) です。Harry James (1916-1983) はPollack楽団、Goodman楽団を経て自身の楽団を後年まで維持し続けました。SinatraやDick Haymes, Helen Forrest, Kitty Kallen等の歌手、Juan Tizol, Willie Smith, Buddy Rich等のスタープレーヤーも多く在籍しました。ここでも将来の有望株としてSonny Berman, Corkey Corcoran, Arnold Ross, Haf Schafer等の名前が見られます。
