The University Of Colorado, Boulder lists the following information. "Jubilee" was the War Department Service Division (SSD) and Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS) program cataloged as series H-11 by SSD to October 1943 and AFRS thereafter. This was an historic series and the recordings of the series preserved in the Glenn Miller Archive (GMA) collections are an important national treasure. "Jubilee" was conceived and programmed to present African-American artists and their music to the armed forces personnel of the United States and allied nations around the world. During the history of the program, eventually other artists were invited to participate, but "Jubilee" is remembered as a showcase for African-American talent. In additional to big bands, small jazz groups and singers, many talented dramatic and comedic performers appeared on "Jubilee." " "AFRS program announcer: George Dvorak Master of Ceremonies: Ernest “Bubbles” Whitman Studios: NBC Hollywood Pre-recording dates: July 1946 Date of dubbing: Label information: Notes: Side 1, wax info: HD6-MM-7038-1 01 Introduction & theme: One O‘Clock Jump 01 Boys Meets Stravinsky - arr EF 02 Ol´ Man River 01 Jazz Symphony: First Movement: Dalvatore Sally Second Movement: Hey Look, I´m Dancing Side 2, wax info: HD6-MM-7039-1 02 That´s Where I Came In 01 Jazz Sympnohy: Third Movement: Grey Suede, Special Made 01 Fourth Movement: Keyf 01 A Night In Tunisia 01 Signoff & Raeburn signature tune: Hep Boyds (nc) - 01 Boyd Raeburn and his Orchestra Probably Ray Linn, Dale Pierce, Nelson Shellady, Carl Green or Zeke Zarchey, trumpets; Britt Woodman, Ollie Wilson, Hal Smith or Freddie Zito, trombones; Wilbur Schwartz, clarinet, alto and tenor saxes; Harry Klee, flute, alto sax; Ralph Lee, tenor sax, bassoon; Lucky Thompson, Gus McReynolds, tenor saxes; Hy Mandel, baritone sax; Boyd Raeburn, bass sax; Dodo Marmarosa, piano, celeste; Tony Rizzi or Dave Barbour, guitar; Harry Babasin, string bass; Jackie Mills, drums; Ed Finkel, George Handy, arrangers. NOTE: George Handy arranged the “Jazz Symphony”. Raeburn: “And now George is going to conduct the first two movements from his new Jazz Symphony as a Jubilee premiere. In essence this is jazz, but you´ll hear such familiar symphonic instruments as the oboe, bassoon, harp - all playing in a jazz manner”. However, Dalvatore Sally was already recorded for Ben Pollack´s Jewel label around February 1946. Whitman: “And now the fourth movement was written by Flora Ann Morse, Ella Mae Morse´s baby sister. And the title of the fourth movement is Keith”. However, the correct spelling is “Keif”.
