The John Kirby Sextet - transcription recordings for Lang Worth in 1940 and 41 . . great playing by Charlie Shavers, Buster Bailey, Russell Procope, Billy Kyle, John Kirby, O'Neil Spencer and especially Maxine Sullivan - doing a number of charts they did not record commercially.  The "Biggest Little Band In The Land" featured incredibly sophisticated arrangements, immaculate playing and great solos in addition to the stylish vocals of Sullivan.
