How many bandleader's voices can you recognive without a context mentioned; (i.e. - introduction, song title, venue....etc.)?

I can recognize~

glenn miller
artie shaw
tommy dorsey
harry james
duke ellington
cab calloway
benny goodman
woody herman (maybe)
kay kyser
fats waller
and
bill elliott
eddie reed
dean mora

Which can you ID?

also - It might be fun at a dance to have a between the sets contest for the people in attendance and to give away some prize. You play sound bites and people guess.

You could either choose a 'panel' of people to quiz or just play it for the house or for the people gathered near you.

Also might be fun to have sound bites of dancer's voices, both locally and nationally and internationally, to see who can pick them out., too.
