HORACE HEIDT'S ORCHESTRA
The following records are known to be of some interest as jazz for their solo work. Bobby Hackett, c, was a member of the band from the end of 1939 until the summer of 1941, but he does not seem to have contributed any solos of great length to any of the Columbia records made during that time.

THE SOUTHERN SERENADERS: Although a certain amount of controversy still centers around the products of this session issued under this name, the Columbia files bear an obliterated artist credit to what looks like FLETCHER HENDERSON AND HIS ORCHESTRA, the above pseudonym written in above. Had this been a Sam Lanin session, as Walter C. Allen and other authorities contended, surely his name would have been entered, even if it had subsequently been obliterated also. A record date by a collaboration of Henderson and Lanin musicians is dimly remembered by some of each (and vigorously denied by others), according to various collectors who interviewed them, although such a collaboration is unlikely as long ago as 1925. In view of the evidence on the Coumbia file card and the sound of the sides themselves, I am prepared to accept the assertion of Louis Armstrong and Don Redman that the band responsible was Henderson's, with white vocalist Billy Jones added for one side.
