Along with such familiar pieces as "Minnie the Moocher," "I Can't Get Started," "Don't Be That Way," "Begin the Beguine," "Cherokee," "In the Mood" and "Body and Soul" are items from Fletcher Henderson ("Sugarfoot Stomp"), Mills Blue Rhythm Band, Bennie Moten, Louis Armstrong ("St. Louis Blues"), Jimmie Lunceford, Gene Krupa, Teddy Hill, Tommy Ladnier and Wingy Manone.
