[Dixielandjazz] Name This Band & Vocalist, Please

[Dick Baker]

Great work, Greg, and thanks to Bill for further details.  Many of 
the Soundies (I actually have an eight-DVD set) are missing their 
openings, and I've figured out several of them by consulting IMDB and 
YouTube, but I failed on that one.

There are some other jazz-band and big-band titles that are similarly 
mysterious--I'll try to put them up as well and hope you sleuths can help out.
