also

Perry Botkin Sr. ... musician
Altho' part of that particular Artie Shaw Orchestra, the Mice (string
section) are not listed.
The film was released in New York in Dec 1940, the rest of US in Jan 1941.
The commercial recording of "Concerto for Clarinet" (Victor 36383) was made
on 17/12/40 with much the same line except Ray Coniff (tmb)replaced Buddy
Morrow.

This video crossed my screen today. It's clip from a movie in which Artie
Shaw and band perform Concerto for Clarinet.
Nick Fatool is identified as the drummer and I recognize Johnny Guarnieri
performing on piano. Can some of you jazz historians identify other members
of the orchestra. Video is less than 4 minutes long.
Thanks.
