[Dixielandjazz] Name that mystery tune from Moscow

[Dick Baker]

Friends,

Decima was a 8-9-piece band that was formed in Moscow in 1984 and 
enjoyed quite a bit of success on the Soviet/Russian jazz scene.  In 
1998 they chaned their name to the Hot Nine and are evidently still 
in business.

I got a couple of well-recorded rehearsal tapes from them in 1994 or 
so, one of which didn't have any titles listed.  I've figured out 16 
of the 17 titles, but one still has me guessing.  If you'd like to 
give it a listen and weigh in, you'll find it at

It's possible that it's a Russian folk or pop song, but I rather 
doubt it, since--as you'll see at that web address--all the rest of 
their tunes are American jazz standards, with a heavy helping of Ellington.
