You have to remember that a lot of songs that Bechet was given composer
credits for (especially in France) were songs that had been composed by
other people and Bechet changed the song title and claimed composer credits.
A striking example of this is "Panther Dance" which is the old Tiger Rag
which was written by eveyrone except Jelly Roll Morton, but there are lots
of others.
