Dear Bob,
If you can access the Red Hot Jazz Archive at
redhotjazz.com
there are two slower versions which define the lead quite well.
Fess Williams and His Royal Flush Orchestra from 12 Feb 1927
and
Fletcher Henderson and His Orchestra on 5 Feb 1931.
This one has a vocal by Louis Deppe and a nice chase chorus from 
trumpet man Bobby Stark and Coleman Hawkins.
Kind regards,
Bill.
