Freddie Carter is our master of ceremonies as we kick off two fine selections from a somewhat forgetable movie. As film historian, Donald Bogle, put it, "There are only two redeeming factors here: namely Dizzy Gillespie and vocalist Helen Humes. Otherwise the proceedings are pretty dreary."

The band featured here is probably:

Dave Burns, Dizzy Gillespie, John Lynch, Matthew McKay, Elmon Wright - trumpets
Taswell Baird, Al Moore, Gordon Thomas - trombones
John Brown, Scoops Carey - alto saxes
Bill Frazier, James Moody - tenor saxes
Pee Wee Moore - baritone sax
Milt Jackson - vibraphone
John Lewis - piano
Ray Brown - bass
Joe Harris - drums
