Details
Warren Durrett's orchestra, seated in rows behind stands on an elevated stage in front of a large curtain. Band members (all white men) are playing their instruments and wearing black suits with striped bow ties. In the back row: two trumpets, and a double bass off to the right. In front of them: two trombones and drums. In the front: four saxophones. In front of them to the right are four white people singing into a microphone, from left to right: an unidentified man with glasses, wearing a black suit and a bow tie; an unidentified woman in a dress; Warren Durrett in a white tuxedo and bow tie; and another unidentified man with glasses, a black suit, and a bow tie. To the right is a piano with an empty chair in front of it (likely these four are the Four Noteables).
