Lovely tune, used to do it with a band, Rent Party Blues is in a similar vein.
Hodges recorded it 28 March 1938, under his own name and I'm don't think Ellington did it, certainly not pre-war and of course there is the famous one at the same Newport concert as Dim & Crescendo.
Can you post a track of the Merline Johnson thing.. oh and what date is that??
