Details, details (but that's our job, right? ) So, you mean to tell me if Buddy Bolden recorded it, but it isn't going to be released until 2007 (when Uptown gets ahold of it), then he still wouldn't get credit for being the first... ? I'm so confused.
Well, if you want the true first recording of it, then that's probably the tape of Tommy Wolf doing it (at the Crystal Palace in St. Louis) that George Shearing passed around.
