Oliver 3/18/30, Victor V-38137,760-0004.Confirmed by 7/1/30 unpub. copyright reg,melody by Oliver-Nelson [sic, i.e., no firstnames or initials], no subtitle.No subtitle on Victor label. But Victor Projectsays,Title SourceRhythm Club stomp (Primary title) Disc labelFox trot (Title descriptor)Victor ledgersCurwiship glide (Alternate title) Victor ledgersIf you’ll look ahead to “Rumba Negro,” you’llsee another case in which Rust lists a subtitlethat wasn’t on the copyright reg. and wasn’ton the record label, but was on the Victorledgers. But for this one, we have somethingof an explanation, courtesy of jazz writer PhilSchaap, writing on Facebook March 2013:I am alone in being amused by KingOliver’s real title for what was issued as“Rhythm Club Stomp” on Victor V-38137 asrecorded on March 18, 1930 (just 83 yearsago). King Oliver called it “Curwiship Glide”and the Victor file cards still show that initialname. I guess it’s reasonable that a big firmsuch as Victor Records thought better aboutusing it.I was good buddies with the drummer onthat record, Freddie Moore. Moore was notthe only musician from those days – ClydeBernhardt was another from Oliver’s band –to tell me that curwiship was the sound thata log made as one tossed it in the river,lending it to float down river to the saw mill.That floating to the saw mill is where the“glide” came in.I accepted their testimony and continuedto understand why Victor changed it to amore self explanatory title such as “RhythmClub Stomp”.As to curwiship, I felt that it wasn’t a realword but a made-up one that wasonomatopoeia. Indeed, that’s what FreddieMoore thought: a made-up word that KingOliver knew that described a sound thatseveral understood and had even heard.It might not be a real word but it has aonce employed first syllable that is sorelatable in purpose and definition that I’llentertain that “curwiship” or somethingclose to that spelling is or once was a realword.That’s because curglaff is a real word. Ithas fallen out of disuse but is right there inthe John Jamieson’s Etymological ScottishDictionary, published in 1808. Curglaff isdefined as the shock felt in bathing whenone first plunges into the cold water.Plunging into water and a “cur” pre-fixseems to be a real linguistic device. At leastit was in Scotland in 1808 and with KingOliver in the first third of the 20th Century.The question is whether we include it here.Well, I reluctantly kept the (Spanish Stomp)subtitle for “Rumba Negro” on the theory thatit’s widely known. Do a Google search forrumba negro bennie motenand you’ll find the subtitle attached on wellover a third of the hits you get. Do the samething torhythm club stomp king oliverand you’ll find Curwiship Glide a few times. Isaw it eight times on four pages of hits, sowhat the hell—and because Erdos is crazyabout bizarre subtitles—we might as wellinclude it.RETHINK THIS: This is another case in whichRust dredged up an alternative title (NOT asubtitle) that he found in the Victor ledgers, atitle never got copyrighted and never got on arecord label. It’s a bit of arcana, but not a title.Rhythm Is Our Business(Jimmie Lunceford–Saul Chaplin–Sammy Cahn)Limehouse JB 1014ASM, 1935, Select Music.Rhythm King (Joe Hoover*–Jo Trent)New Yankee Rhythm Kings 1050Terry Waldo’s Gotham City Band 1120ASM, 1928, Waterson, Berlin & Snyder; w.Trent/m.
