Indeed!  I have all those versions, and love them all.  The Hot Five
ersion is still the favourite one, but both the place of the band n
history and nostalgia (it was the  first version I heard when I bought
an old Jazz Society 10" LP).
Unlike Riccardi, I never winced at the Louis with the Dukes of
Dixieland recording, but then, I have never listened to those versions
 in a row and compared them either.  And when I listen to each
separate record, they sound just lovely!  Yes, the standard of the one
with the Dukes is lower, but I've always attributed it to the
inferiority of the accompanying band as compared to any of the others!
Cheers
