"Jubilee" is an American treasure. It was the War Dept. Service Division and Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS) program that featured African-American musicians and singers. Broadcast to servicemen and women via shortwave radio from 1942 to 1953. Jubilee was conceived at least in part as a morale-building service for African-American troops overseas. This Oct. 24, 1947 features Count Basie and his Orchestra with their vocalist Jimmy Rushing and guest vocalist Ella Mae Morse. So climb aboard the time machine and go back to the days of Big Band and Jazz with Jubilee! This track will be stored in the "Big Band /Jazz" Playlist on this Soundcloud.com originating podcast. Thank you for listening.
