Host is Ernie Whitman.
Duke Ellington starts off with, Canteen Bounce. Art Tatum is up to play a jazzy piano tune. Louis Jordan plays, Infantry Blues.
Betty Rochelle. sings, Hey Foot Slough Foot. Art Tatum is back to play another jazzy tune on piano. Jimmy Rogers plays, Cinamon Lady.
Apparently he needs no introduction for himself, or the song, because without introduction of any kind, Duke Ellington kicks back in with a swinging tune. Art Tatum plays, Sweet Lorainne.
Ernie reminds listeners how they can write in to make a request. Again, without introduction, the song begins, presumably Betty Rochelle singing, IfI Can’t Have You.
Duke Ellington and his band perform, A Slip of the Lip. Duke and Ernie say a parting word to the troops.
