Dear Dick,
Great stuff too.
I have the WGJB 'Good News' LP and the Bessie one with Basie.
I've never heard the Ellingtons.
Apropos the recent thread "We gonna be rasslin' when the wagon comes" 
[oh no, not again!]
and that line on Bessie's "Gimme A Pigfoot" (where some people hear 
"arrested").
Well - Ms Brewer, on the 1973 Basie track, sings "wresslin'", which is 
good enough for me.
Don't forget too that Teresa Brewer was married to Bob Theile (of "WWW" 
fame) and he liked dixieland.
Kind regards,
Bill.
