Because there was no drummer, Glen, Karen, and Keith took turns providing some rhythm on the congas. Except when singing, Karen played congasbefore the intermission. Keith played them on a number of songs after the intermission. When Keith played congas, Glen covered the bass trombone parts. On Tall Cotton and Satin Doll, Glen started on congas, then Karen took over when Glen switched to trumpet or vibes. In recognition of the situation, Karen changed the line "If it sounds like Dorsey on the trombone" in Dance to the Big Band Swing to "If it sounds like Tito on the congas," a reference to legendary Latin percussionist Tito Puente.
