Freddy Martin and his Orchestra – Serenade For Strings（1941）
Following the success of his million-selling Piano Concerto in B Flat recording from earlier in 1941, Freddy Martin continued to include’pop’ adaptations of the classics in his recording sessions for several years to come. Here on the flipside of the “Grieg Piano Concerto in A Minor” he chose another Tchaikovsky melody: the 2nd movement （Valse） from Serenade For Strings in C Major, Op 48.

Glen Gray and The Casa Loma Orchestra – Autumn Nocturne（1941）
The moody Claude Thornhill version is probably best-known, but this Casa Loma arrangement is also quite nice.

Lonnie Johnson – Tomorrow Night（1948）
２度目の引用。
An active performer and recording artist during the 1920s and 30s, pioneering jazz & blues guitarist Alonzo Johnson enjoyed a career rebirth in the late 1940s with a series of vocal hits for King Records, most notably this unique treatment of a late-thirties pop tune. It spent 33 weeks on the R&B charts （7 of them at #1） and was also a top-20 pop jukebox hit.
Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights – Tomorrow Night（1939）
vocal: Heidtlites
２度目の引用。
Influential jazz and blues guitarist/singer Lonnie Johnson is most closely identified with this tune through his million-selling recording for King records in the 1940s. Back in 1939, though, it was pretty much just another pleasant ballad that came and went.
Of some note to collectors: Columbia record number 35203 was only the third numbered release for the brand new red-label Columbia brand following a two-year hiatus since the last （blue label） pop series Columbias were issued.
Ozzie Nelson and his Orchestra – Tomorrow Night（1939）
