Says Ray Smith:“Dixieland Jazz” brings us to 1955 andClarence Williams’s last composition, writtenshortly before he passed away. The tunewas never recorded.But it was copyrighted:DIXIELAND JAZZ; w ; m & (c) ClarenceWilliams Sr. 27Oct55 EU 414425.Dizzy Dan (Harold McKnight)Les Rois du Fox-Trot 1436Leader Morel wrote this to go with an onlinevideo of the band playing this tune:DIZZY DAN is a not well-known tunecomposed by a certain H. McKnight andrecorded by the French orchestra of Leo Pollin 1930. I heard this tune for the first time atthe Whitley Bay Jazz Festival 2010. It wasplayed by the wonderful band of KeithNichols & the Blue Devils. Keith offered usvery kindly the arrangement that he hadtranscribed from the Leo Poll recording.I found several refs to the Leo Poll et sonorchestre recording from June 1930, but nonethat mentioned a composer credit. I guess wejust have to trust Nichols--but he’s prettytrustworthy. And his response to my inquiry:I don't have much information. HaroldMcKnight was an American living in France.(Paris?) The chart's construction sounds likeit may have been a printed 10 pieceorchestration. Just my guess.Dizzy Fingers (Zez Confrey)Tony Caramia 1209Tony Caramia 1328Confirmed 11/17/23 copyright.Do De O Do (Stanley J. Damerell–Robert Hargreaves–George Formby)Jimmy Mazzy & Eli Newberger CD 1109Not in Rust. “Sendup of British Vaudeville,”says Newberger. Aha, my own very welldocumented George Formby CD on Flappersays rec. by Formby 7/1/32, Decca F 3079with Nat Gonella, tp; composers Damerell-Hargreaves-Formby. Oddly, my NaxosNostalgia record credits only Formby and sayswith Jack Hylton Orchestra. And there’s areason, according to the George Formby website at www.georgeformby.org: It was donewith the Hylton band, but Hylton but the songswere dodgy—the A side was “Chinese[Laundry] Blues,” and Hylton feared it woulddamage his reputation. And the Formby siteeven has the original recording session sheeton display, confirming the performers, but bylast name only. Confirmed our first nameselsewhere.Do I Know What I’m Doing While I’min Love (Leo Robin–Sam Coslow–Richard A. Whiting)Waldo’s Jazz Entertainers 1377CD had “Do I Know What I’m Doing?”Rec.
