     Information from: "Jazz on the Screen" by David Meeker. Used

     In the beach party sequence members of Cee Pee Johnson's Band,

Collette, alto sax; Buddy Banks, tenor sax; Cee Pee Johnson, drums;  
Alton Redd, vocal.
Note(s)
     Feature film (over 60 minutes).
     Unconfirmed reports suggest that Orson Welles used a piano track  
by Nat King Cole during the club sequence in which the second Mrs.  
Kane is interviewed. Bernard Herrmann denied any knowledge of it to  
this writer: he also denied any involvement with the musicians in the  
beach party scene who were hired by Welles himself. Welles' liking  
for jazz is a matter of record and shortly after KANE was completed  
he commissioned Duke Ellington to compose a score for a future  
project, "The story of jazz". A few pages of this unused music still  
exist.
