Brahms - Violin Sonata No.3, Op.108 Glazunov - String Quartet No.5, Op.70

I have long considered Ray Nance a wonderful trumpet player. His sideman work with the Duke Ellington Orchestra as well as with a number of Ellington oriented small groups is well known. Nance is also a fine jazz violinist, singer and dancer. Yet when I checked LORD, it was rather surprising to see that there were only 5 items listed with Ray as leader over his lengthy career. Many other Ellington players had the opportunity to record as leaders quite often - Johnny Hodges, Clark Terry, Paul Gonsalves, Rex Stewart, Harold Ashby, and others. Wonder why recording opportunities as a leader were so rare for Ray Nance?
