Hello.
Alan Greenspan actually played with a different band, the Henry Jerome
Orchestra.

prestigious music academy Julliard and playing tenor saxophone with

'He enrolled at Julliard School of Music, aiming for a career as a
professional musician. But he grew restless and left school to tour in
Henry Jerome’s dance band, pulling down $62 a week by playing tenor
saxophone, clarinet and occasionally the flute.
"Alan was good, although he wasn’t primarily a jazz player,"
Jerome told Martin. "I hired him because he was an excellent musician,
but I didn’t use him as an improviser."'

"For example, his early love of music led him to study at New York's
famous Julliard School of Music. He left before graduation to play the
clarinet and tenor saxophone in Henry Jerome's swing band for $64 a
week as it toured the United States in 1944."
