David,

Duke Ellington first recorded it on Oct.30th, 1930. He said he wrote it in 15 minutes while his mom was finishing dinner. It didn't say the date he wrote it, but he usually didn't waste time putting it on disk as he had a lot of pressure on him to lay down his most recent compositions.

  Thanks to all who responded on this. The Anderson Fake Book helped me out. I 
  wonder, though, about its accuracy. For example, it lists "Mood Indigo" as 
  1931. I thought Ellington recorded it in 1929. (??)
