The 1937 band's clarinettist was Irving Prestopnik, who went by the name Fazola (while that sounds fictional, it's quite true - see George T. Simon's history of the band!)

When Miller reorganized the band in 1938, he hired Wilbur Schwartz whose broad tone was crucial to the famed reed blend now called The Miller Sound. Schwartz remained with the band until Miller broke it up in 1942.

The AAF Band featured Michael "Peanuts" Hucko on Clarinet.
