Jack Hill's band was very solid backing and played good swing on its own numbers, Roy Eldridge and Albert Ammons stole the show with their fine jazz, Ella Fitzgerald really made a tremendous hit (she later said to me that she had more fun working the Smoker than anything she had done in a long while) by here very swell singing, and Hildegarde proved herself far more than just a good piano player and better singer by her showmanship...

While the two freshmen stripped to the waist, companions found a pair of French fencing épées, pulled off the protective tips, sterilized the points. Business: a duel. Challenger: Freshman List.
