The talented, modest jazz singer Joe Williams was quite a big name in that era. The backtracks on that era in between the songs offer an interesting atmospheric view. The setlist: 1” Every day I have the blues (reworked version by Peter Chatman alias Memphis Slim in 1949) 4:50 The Come Back (Peter Chatman alias Memphis Slim, 1953) 10:00” Once in a While (Edwards & Green, 1937) 15:10“ The same old story (Benard Ighner) 21:46” Everything must change (Benard Ighner) 27:30” Who she do (Joe Williams) 34:00” All right, Okay You Win (Count Basie Orchestra & Joe Williams) 36:00” Stella by Starlight (Victor Young) 39:00” Outro 42:30 Encore: Cherry Red (Joe Turner)
The lyrics of the outro (39”) reflect a time when patience was still a virtue (could not find a name of the song though) : "Time goes by so fast it seems to me. We’re never really free. Some things should not matter quite so much. And some will never be. One fine day you look to me. We’ll have moments two or three Keep me close to where you run to hide. I am never hard to find. Take your time. But save that time for me."

@@wallymc8938 thank you for posting this,
Joe Williams appears to be the son of Count Basie (see 4:15" ). And the drummer, Steve Williams, is the son of Joe (see 38:30" )
