[Dixielandjazz] PBS series "The War"

[David Richoux]

There was one very strange, discordant clarinet solo feature sometime  
in the first hour that I could not place as contemporary to 1941. I  
guess it could have been a Benny Goodman thing, but it might have  
been a new composition.

I deleted the episode from my Tivo without looking for song credits -  
anybody know?
