Notes: There is a serious error in “BG - On The Record” – it lists this film as of August 1948, instead of the correct 1947. Title of the selection by the Armstrong-Hampton Nonet is “Goldwyn Stomp,” As confirmed by Samuel Goldwyn test acetates (see REEL No. ET-21). See also further comment on those aoetates on REEL No. ET-21. In terms of complete or partial renditions, titles in which Benny Goodman participated are shown correctly above, and on REEL No. ET-21. These details differ in minor degree from those shown in “BG-OTR.”
