History
Dick Winfree and Phil Boutelje wrote it, and Leo Feist published it in 1922. Henry E. Murtagh introduced it in vaudeville. Paul Whiteman's 1929 Columbia record, with Bix Beiderbecke, made it popular.
Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Sidney Bechet, Django Reinhardt, Fats Waller and Oscar Peterson all recorded it. It plays in the 1956 film The Benny Goodman Story.
