Wiki says Paris 1945
Paris 1945 is a swing album featuring guitarist Django Reinhardt along with five members of Glenn Miller's Army Air Force big band. The album was recorded in Paris, France, and originally released in 1945.
On January 25, 1945, Reinhardt recorded four tunes with Bernie Privin on trumpet, Peanuts Hucko on tenor saxophone, Mel Powell on piano, Josz Schulman on bass and Ray McKinley on drums.[2]
In addition to these four tracks, the album included four tracks of
Hucko playing clarinet with a trio, and several tracks of Powell on solo
piano.[3]
Miller's band members were all members of the United States Army Air Forces,
and military regulations prohibited them from making commercial
recordings. This led to a curious personnel listing on the original
album that mentioned only Django Reinhardt by name. His accompanists
were called the Jazz Club Mystery Hot Band, and the members were listed
as U, V, W, X, Y and Z.[2] Later reissues properly credited Glenn Miller's All Stars, the Ray McKinley Trio and Mel Powell.
