Ellington played an extended residency at the Ritz Carlton Hotel from July to August 1939 and at the Southland Café in January 1940, after which Count Basie and his Orchestra took over for a four week residency in February. O’Donnell was killed in a mid-air collision aged just 22 in January 1944 while serving as a 2nd lieutenant with the 346th Combat Crew Training Squadron. Provenance: William Lawson “Bud” O’Donnell (ownership inscription to front free endpaper).
