A CHOICE COPY
Bunny Berigan Orch.
Theme Song: "I Can't Get Started (with you)".
A Wisconsin-ite, Bunny formed his first (11 piece) band in 1936, which did cut a few sides for the old Brunswick Record Company.
In 1937, he augmented the group and opened in the Hotel Pennsylvania (New York City). The arranger was Joe Lipman and a new reedman - Georgie Auld was added. Incidentally, a new reed "person" was also added - Ruth Bradley on clarinet, and vocals too. Later on, Bunny hired an ex-tap dancer named Buddy Rich (drums) and Ray Conniff ('bone) and Joe Bushkin (piano). This group recorded for Victor Records.
The actual personnel of the 1938 Bunny Berigan band, when Jayne Dover was vocalist, consisted of:
Saxes: Milton Schatz, Georgie Auld, Gus Rivona, Clyde Rounds - Trumpets: Bunny, John Naptan, Harry Goodman - Trombones: Nat LeBrousky, Ray Coniff - Drums: Buddy Rich - Guitar: Hank Wayland - Bass: Dick Morgan - Piano: Joe Bushkin
Bunny finally called it quits in early 1940.
Tommy Dorsey hired him immediately. His stay only lasted 6 months - he left Dorsey, after an NBC radio broadcast, on Aug. 20, 1940. There were some dis-agreements. Bunny felt that he wasn't getting sufficient solo time, etc.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
