Black and Tan

In this fictional story, Duke Ellington plays hot jazz and finds himself down on his luck. He tries in vain to dissuade his friend, dancer Fredi Washington, from working despite her heart trouble, even though her performance means work for his band. Sure enough, she collapses on stage.
