Storyville seems to have failed to provide a line-up ... they list one on the website, and I guess there's no question marks generally:

Cootie Williams, Harold “Money” Johnson, Eddie Preston, Mercer Ellington, John Coles (tp),
Chuck Connors, Malcolm Taylor, Booty Wood (tb), 
Russell Procope (as, cl),
Harold “Geezil” Minerve (as, f, pi),
Norris Turney (as, ts, cl, f),
Harold Ashby (ts, cl),
Paul Gonsalves (ts),
Harry Carney (bars, cl, bcl),
Duke Ellington (p), 
Joe Benjamin (b),
Rufus Jones (dr),
Lena Junoff, Nell Brookshire, Tony Watkins (vcl)

That is, generally ... but regarding the singers, there is. Reviews mention Nell Brookshire and Tony Watkins doing a rollicking or embarassing (depending on point of view) version of "One More Time (for the People)" a.k.a. "One More Once", but one of the Swedish reviews published via ellington.se fails to list both Lena Junoff and Nell Brookshire, instead providing Bobbi Gordon, while the other again mentions Brookshire/Watkins:

Not that it matters all that much, but why can't Storyville list the personnel in their booklet?
