Big Band leaders from WW2 not named Miller, Dorsey, or Lombardo

What's your fave band leader who's not a household name from the WW2 era? In my opinion, Ted Heath has them all beat. Few people I talk to have ever heard of him. Years back, I visited with the owner of a music store on the West Bank who was a Heath aficionado. Thought I'd never shut him up...

The Ted Heath bio is an interesting read. Wiki Bio "They Say" he was difficult to work for because he demanded so much exactness and precision. All of his band members sound top-tier.

"Heath was inspired by Glenn Miller and his Army Air Force Band and spoke with Miller at length about forming his own band when Miller toured Britain with the USAAF Orchestra. Heath admired the immaculate precision of the Miller ensemble and felt confident that he could emulate Miller’s success with his own orchestra."

Here is what I think is his best production: Swing is King (by Ted Heath)
