If anyone is still interested I can post the scans from the Chronological Classics for 1943-47 and 1947-50 which include discographies. If you have a preference, let me know where you'd like me to upload them, as it seems they're too large to attach here.

I tried uploading to archive.org but it's not cooperating. 1947-50 is up there, at least for the moment, but 1943-47 never showed up.

Thanks, Captain.

The tenor who doesn't get a solo sure looks like Bull Moose Jackson.

It is indeed. Out of curiosity I tracked down the movie this was taken from. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Big-Bands-Cab-Calloway/dp/B00YSP2LKA

Here are the personnel for the Millinder band:

BOARDING HOUSE BLUES (1948) (excerpts) Lucky Millinder & His Orchestra: 
Personnel (prob.): John Bello, Harold Johnson, Archie Johnson, Leon Meriam (tp), Alfred Cobbs, Gene Simon, Frank Mazzoli (tb), Burnie Peacock, Sam Hopkins, George Nicholas (as), Clarence "Bullmoose" Jackson, Sam "The Man" Taylor (ts), Ernest Purce (brs), Sir Charles Thompson (p), Bernard Mackey (g), Jerry Cox (b), Panama Francis (dr), Lucky Millinder (dir/vo). 
"Unidentified title" (2:28) 
"Sweet Slumber" (3:56) (Lucky Millinder) vocal by Paul Breckenridge 
"Let It Roll" (2:39) (Berry) vocal by Annastine Allen 
"I Love You, Yes I Do" (3:27) (Andy Gibson) vocal by Clarence "Bullmoose" Jackson
