[Dixielandjazz] Fats Waller's "Stealin' Apples"

 By 2011, there have been 109 recordings of this tune, but, as far as I can see, it was never recorded by Fats, himself.
I'm interested in obtaining a recording by a small ensemble that most resembles the style of Fats Waller and his Rhythm. 
I'll be grateful for any suggestions, preferably with reference to a CD that might still be available.
 
The reason for this is that we're playing this tune at a concert in November, and the arrangement has been made by our conductor, based on the big band arrangements played by Glenn Miller and Fletcher Henderson, but our conductor has never heard a small ensemble version.
 
Cheers
 
Bob Smith
