Kay Davis (vocal), Lawrence Brown (tromb.), Ray Nance (viol.) and Harry Carney (bass clarinet) perform On a Turquoise Cloud at the beginning of this clip. In Frankie and Johnny, Tyree Glenn plays plunger trombone. Notice Nance waving his arms in the trumpet section at the end - known as Floorshow, he sang and played violin and trumpet in Ellington's band.
