A re-creation, perhaps? I have stereo direct-to-disc recordings

the Harry James Band.
I had the chance to work with the Glenn Miller Orchestra back in the
90's (providing sound reinforcement) Which I thought was pretty
impressive since Glenn Miller died in 1944.
Anyway, these 'ghost' bands often made recordings using modern
equipment, so perhaps that's one avenue to pursue.
You might want to check out the Beau Hunks, a '"documentary orchestra"
that performs note-perfect renditions of music which is obscure and
often commercially unavailable.'

Wow - this is exactly what I am talking about! Thank you so much, and I will
be searching for some discs and see what the sound quality is like!
