At The Jazz Band Ball Johnny Mercer 1964
Johnny Mercer who wrote the lyrics of At the Jazz Band Ball is actually singing this tune. The only time I heard it sang before was with an Eddie Condon Band with Bing Crosby.
John Herndon "Johnny" Mercer (1909 -- 1976) was a songwriter. He wrote the lyrics to more that 1000 songs, received nineteen Academy Award nominations, and wrote music for movies and Broadway shows. He also was a cofounder of Capitol Records.
