Nice presentation video, but I would like to point out a couple of corrections. There is no record of Fats Waller performing at the Cotton Club (his songs performed by others, yes), nor was Billie Holiday, nor Count Basie, nor Sammy Davis jr. Louis Armstrong and his orchestra did not perform at the Cotton Club until late 1939, at its Broadway location, months before its closure. The picture of the show that comes out at 0:40 seconds has a handwritten notation that says 1925, actually belongs to the 1932 show.
