The Wikipedia page on the band says:

The four songs performed (credits from IMDb and the video provider):

  • Purple Moonlight (m. Arthur Kent, w. Edgar De Lange)
    with unidentified male vocalist

    I think it might be possible that it is Pee Wee Hunt doing the vocal on Darktown Strutters’ Ball. Pee Wee was a trombonist in the band.
