Dear Hans,
This Bill Coleman tune, recorded in Paris on 31 January 1936 with Bill 
Coleman (t) Edgar Courance (cl/ts) Jean Ferrier (p) Oscar Aleman (g) 
Eugene d'Hellemmes (sb) and William (or is it Hurley) Diemer (d) is a 
nice riff type 'session' tune, based on a standard progression and 
probably named in the studio to celebrate Joe Louis' knockout win over 
boxer Paolino Uzcudun at Madison Square Garden two weeks earlier on 14 
Dec 1935.
Playing it now.
I doubt that sheet music exists (but could be wrong), although someone 
may have transcribed it at some time. There are no other recorded 
versions that I know of.
Kind regards,
Bill.
