Roland Dorsay et ses Cadets play the hottest arrangement of a gorgeous tune, "La Chanson d'une Nuit," a/k/a "Heute Nacht oder nie" and "Tell Me Tonight," on Salabert 3206.  (The agile saxes sound like they've had lots of coffee, while the trumpets maybe didn't have enough.)  On the flip side, they play a pretty fox trot, "La Chanson des Feuilles," a/k/a "Lullaby of the Leaves."  Recorded in Paris in 1932.  On YouTube (not this copy).
At various times, the orchestra's sax section included such luminaries as Raymond Legrand and Jacques Helian.
The grooves look grey -- and my pictures make them look even worse -- but the record plays well, around VV+ on "Nuit" and V+ on "Feuilles."  You'll enjoy the music.
I'm a longtime collector who is downsizing.  I know how to pack records.
