29 Aug 1942: Change location to Palace Theatre (note "re"), Chicago.

8 Oct 1942: "Beverley" should be "Beverly"; add issue Docurama DVD NVG 9502.

10 and 12 Sept 1970: Change "Concert" to "Dance" for both Disneyland dates. Could also be "dancing" (they might have done a set before the dancing started).

17 Sept 1970 at Monterey CA: Change date to 18 Sept 1970 (note that this matches the take numbers in the left column). "Patricia Willard has told me several times the correct spelling of Watkins’ given name is Toney."

"17, 19 June 1943": Add a note explaining that one title was recorded on the 17th but we don't know which.

DP says:

This next is the pre-recording session for the soundtrack to the RKO Radio Pictures short "Duke Ellington and His Orchestra," subtitled "Jamboree."
The recording session was postponed from June 15 to 17 because Ellington didn't have the music ready. Only 1 of the 4 numbers was ready to record on the 17th, and it took 4 hours compared to the expected 3 hours booked for all 4 numbers. The other 3 numbers were recorded in 3 hours on the 19th.
While the sidemen were paid immediately according to the contract, the studio withheld Ellington's fee because it wanted him to cover the extra $600 his lack of preparation cost. Ultimately Ellington's full $2,000 fee was paid on August 3.
