But wait: I remember that I have BG On theRecord: A Bio-Discography of BennyGoodman by D. Russell Connor and WarrenH. Hicks, who describe the Room 1411session in detail, then add:“Room 1411" was originally titled “Goin’ toTown.” It was renamed to commemorateroom 1411 of the Whitby hotel, New York,where the Pollack bandsmen, at liberty andbroke, had moved in en masse on Benny.But here’s the copyright:Room 14-11; by Benny Goodman and GlennMiller; violin. © 1 c. Nov. 1, 1928; E—Unpub.809; Melrose bros. music co., inc., Chicago.So to hell with what they called it informallybefore they went into the recording studio. Itcame out of the recording session as Room1411 and was copyrighted that way (althoughthe hyphen was lost on the record labels).This is like all those Vicitor “alternative titles”that are historical curiosities, not reallyalternative titles..Room Rent Blues (Irving Newton)Creole JB 1051Minerva JB 1117Bent Persson’s London Stompers 1167Three Deuces 1185Peruna Jazzmen 1204John Gill’s Novelty Orchestra 1270Neville Dickie 1309Miss Lulu White’s Red Hot Creole JB 1370High Society JB 1396John Gill’s Jazz Kings 1401Southern Stompers 1413Yerba Buena Stompers 1418Rec.
