Alice Chong and Captain Addison Bailey dance while another GI plays guitar. Captain Addison Bailey was Alice's immediate supervisor. He was a Jazz pianist in New York City before the war, and went back to this after the war as well.
The guitar player (name currently unknown) in Bailey’s 14th Air Force band was one of the original “Hillbilly Musicians” Bailey recruited for what eventually became the 14-piece Kunming Jazz and Swing band.
This is likely Thanksgiving, 1944, in Kunming.
