I thought this battle, with "Harlem Nocturne" being the song and Bud Shank and Illinois Jacquet the contestants, was going to end in a tie, but Mike cast the deciding vote…
Bud Shank – 3
Birgit, Dan, Stephen
Illinois Jacquet – 4
Eugenia, Ruth, Arlee, Mike
Congratulations to both of them for making it close and to Illinois Jacquet for prevailing.
Next battle will be on July 1. See you then!
Great battle even if I am with the minority

It was, and there wasn’t much of a difference preference-wise. I didn’t have anyone come out and effectively say they loved one and hated the other.

It was close. I could have gone with either, but I did like that smooth sound of Illinois.

I should of participated in this battle. This was one of the most popular dance songs when I (and your mother) were teenagers.

It was covered a lot of times. That’s usually a sign that it’s a good song.
