and arrangement, ending in a furious finaleadopting a part from Edvard Grieg’s PeerGynt Suite.”1120 Waldo Gotham City Band is Waller1216 Jacques Gauthe (actually piano solo byLouis Mazetier) is Waller1302 Dickie-Mazetier is Waller1374 Back Bay Ramblers seems Calloway, butI think I hear more Waller in it than inCalloway--it’s down at the Waller tempo, atleast. Liner notes say it was the Callowayversion upon which this arrangement wasbased.Never found any of the Calloway labels, butthe reliable LC SONIC reports that Waller wasindeed credited on Calloway’s Oriole 2185.Have asked Robbie Rhodes to chime in as towhether Calloway’s Viper is really from Waller.But before Robbie could reply, I played theCalloway recording for Tom Brier, who fairlyquickly recognized it as Viper’s Drag, soobviously it’s lurking in there somewhere. Andlater Haesler came up with the CallowayPerfect 15412 label, which doesn’t indeedcredit Waller.Virginia (see There’s a Blue Ridgein My Heart)Virginia Blues (Fred Meinken–Ernie Erdman)John Gill’s Original Sunset Five 1094Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden JB 1361Neville Dickie 1423ASM, 1922, Leo Feist; w.
