The EP "Saturday Night at Tom Benton's", recorded in 1942 for Decca (according to http://mentalfloss.com/article/77438/15-things-you-might-not-know-about-thomas-hart-benton) is currently available on Apple Music (and I assume other streaming services) and can be purchased on iTunes.

In fact he also composed some chamber works There was even some recordings “Saturday Night at Tom Benton” I can find no reference  to his harmonica  playing nor these recordings . Does anyone have any information about either his harp playing or these recording?
