Cass HAGAN (born 1904) led several popular orchestras during the 1920s and 1930s. At various times his line-up consisted of such stars as Bix Beidebecke, Tommy Dorsey, Red Nichols, Lennie Hayton, and Pee Wee Russell. Hagan retired from the music business in 1937.
According to the opinion in the web's American Big Bands Database: "The musicians who worked with Cass have fond memories of the band and of the freedom that Cass gave to his soloists". Thanks, Hagan!
