Hello Luis,
It seems to me that less than one year after recording the first WEB, Louis
went over to big band jazz of a more commercial nature. Then, apart from a
few diversions, stayed with this type of music until the jazz revival began
to change the course of jazz in 1939. It also seems that he kept the earlier
tunes that were more amenable to swing treatment in his repertoire during
the 1929-1939 period: Mahogany Hall Stomp, Big Butter And Egg Man, Basin
Street Blues, etc.
Cheers
Bob Smith
