JUMP FOR JOY
Composer: Duke
Ellington
Lyricist: Paul Francis Webster
Opened: July 10, 1941, Mayan Theatre, Los Angeles, CA
Performances: Closed out of town
Note: Duke Ellington and members of his orchestra performed several songs from this show numerous times over the course of their careers. In addition to studio recordings, there are a number of live bootleg and radio recordings which have since been commercially issued, often with inadequate information as to their recording dates. As a consequence, it is likely that this discography contains a number of redundant entries.
