That's Ok Bob. I thought it might remind some list mates of the Benny
Goodman rendition of "Wrappin It Up" made a few years later, after BG wisely
bought some arrangements, including that one, from Henderson. One of the
critiques said, in part, about BG's version, (a tour de force)

". . . .from the late '30s we hear trumpet player Ziggy Elman soloing
strongly. "Wrappin' It Up", again arranged by Fletcher Henderson, offers
Elman and Chicago tenor saxophonist Bud Freeman, who provides a swinging
solo in the Lester Young mold."

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
