[Dixielandjazz] How did key tunes get into the standard dixieland repertoire

[dwlit at cpcug.org]

Hi Gang. How did key pop tunes come into the standard Dixieland repertoire?
Who introduced 'em, or made 'em popular enough so that dixielanders
adopted 'em?

It's a reasonable assumption that "Memories of you" came in via the Benny
Goodman Quartet. Did "Sweet Sue" come in via Jimmie Noone's Apex Club
orch.?
Etc. Etc.

Speaking of Noone, I keep forgetting just how wonderful many of his
records were. I looked in Worlds Records yesterday and found two 4-CD sets
l. JSP (selected works incl. Noone as side person)
2. Definitive (complete works, ie records under his name)
