Nov. 24, 1915; E 374017; Frank K.Root & co., Chicago. [Copyright is claimedon adaptation]Found several copies of La Cinquantaine (c.1887) in different libraries, but sometimes it’shyphenated, sometimes not. Because his fullname was Jean Gabriel-Marie, but onlyGabriel-Marie was on the sheet music,undoubtedly tempting some readers topresume the hyphen was spurious.Tampeekoe (Elmer Schoebel–Louis Panico–Walter Melrose)Charquet & Co 1039Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble 1140New Orleans Classic Jazz Orch 1145Les Rois du Fox-Trot 14075/2/11: Haven’t seen sheet music yet, butfrom web search it’s clear: (1) It was recordedfour times in 1926; two of those 78s showedSchoebel-Panico as composers (one had nocredits and I couldn’t find the other one). (2) itwas published in 1926 with Walter Melrose aslyricist. So I guess we keep him.ASM has it: w. Melrose/m. Louie Panico &Elmer Schoebel; 1926 Melrose Bros.Tango a la Caprice(Willie “The Lion” Smith)Tom Roberts 13921939, says Roberts, but not in 1939-40copyright books. According to Lord, firstrecording was Smith’s 2-LP set The Memoirsof Willie “The Lion Smith (rec. 1967, pub. 1968RCA LSP-6016. I had the set, and the crediton it was indeed Smith, so that’s probably allwe’ll get. Not in 1967-68 books either.But Songwriters Hall of Fame tunelist forClarence Williams shows him as a cocomposer.What the hell? I asked TomRoberts about it:It was published as sheet music in 1939 byLeo feist. The Lion has sole composer credit.My version is transcribed from twodifferent sessions. The 1958 Goodtime Jazzsession Luckey and the Lion as well as theMemoirs session.No way in Hell that Clarence Williams hadanything to do with this.Tango Flamingo (Dave Dallwitz)Dave Dallwitz Ragtime Ensemble 1098Tank Town Bump (Jelly Roll Morton)Ray Skjelbred 1097Pam Pameijer’s Classic Jazz Aces 1194Mike Daniels’ Delta Jazzmen 1203Mahogany Hall Stompers 1221Jim Cullum JB 1254Pam Pameijer’s New Jazz Wizards 1318Rec.
