"Snowfall", a song by written by Claude Thornhill as the theme song for his orchestra. Claude Thornhill was an American pianist, arranger, composer, and bandleader. He composed this jazz and pop standard "Snowfall" and also "I Wish I Had You", which was recorded by Billie Holiday. Photos are from three different editions of the Thornhill? band. The large one with the sculptured decor on the bandstand is the 1953 band at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, with Bill Crow on bass, Winston Welch on drums, Gene Quill on lead alto. I'd like to thank Bill Crow, an American jazz bassist and author as well as former member of Claude Thornhill's Band, for providing information listed here!
