Turk wrote it. Here's the story, from Bob Krenkel via Tommy Loy:
"Bob Krenkel, transplanted Chicoan & big fan of Turk's sent this to me.
Other listmates have asked that it be re-posted.
Glad to oblige...

><i> Here is the story:
</i>><i>
</i>><i> Duff Campbell was a big fan of Turk Murphy, his band and music. It
</i>><i> seems that Duff made a trip to New York, and while there stopped in at
</i>><i> Condon's. Eddie was at the club that night, and Duff decided to
</i>><i> introduce himself. Part of the introduction was how he was a big
</i>><i> fan of
</i>><i> Turk Murphy. Well Condon, in his typical rare (and probably
</i>><i> inebriated)
</i>><i> form, responded by pontificating about the inadequacies of Turk -- how
</i>><i> he and his music were like dinosaurs, antiquated, etc. Well, this
</i>><i> shattered Duff, and upon returning to San Francisco, he related the
</i>><i> incident to Turk. Turk laughed it off, and asked Duff not to take it
</i>><i> personally; after all, Condon was just being Condon!
</i>><i>
</i>><i> A while later, Turk was contacted by George Avakian of Columbia
</i>><i> Records. Avakian had produced several of Turk's albums for Columbia
</i>><i> and
</i>><i> was also a fan. Avakian informed Turk that he was producing an album
</i>><i> entitled Eddie Condon's Treasury of Jazz, which was tied to an
</i>><i> anthology
</i>><i> being published by Condon at that time. Eddie Condon would assemble
</i>><i> the
</i>><i> band and the theme would be tunes of various personalities covered in
</i>><i> the book such as Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Bix, and Benny
</i>><i> Goodman to
</i>><i> name a few. Avakian, being a fan of Turks, wanted Turk included, and
</i>><i> asked him if he could send Condon a tune to use in the album. Turk
</i>><i> responded, "Better that that, I'll write one!" He wrote it with with
</i>><i> twists and turns, put it in Db, and titled it "Duff Campbell's
</i>><i> Revenge."
</i>><i>
</i>><i> The following is an excerpt from the liner notes of the album, written
</i>><i> by Condon:
</i>><i>
</i>><i> "If we had been able to cover all the personalities and chapters in
</i>><i> the book without doing a tune of Turk Murphy's, we'd have gladly
</i>><i> ducked
</i>><i> the toughie in this collection, but the Bald Eagle that presides over
</i>><i> the Columbia eyrie insisted that the discipline was good for us. It's
</i>><i> called Duff Campbell's Revenge and The Head explained something about
</i>><i> the meaning of the title but we were too busy digging the manuscript.
</i>><i> Turk and his boys rehearsed this tune, and they know it inside out.
</i>><i> We
</i>><i> rehearsed it and we still don't. Frankly, the band staggered through
</i>><i> this one; it's a jawbreaker, and if you don't believe it, listen to
</i>><i> the
</i>><i> general struggle. I am very fond of Turk -- there's a piece about him
</i>><i> in the book -- but he gave us a severe penance on this one."
</i>><i>
</i>><i> A final note -- On the Condon recording, they play it in Eb.
</i>><i>
</i>><i> Hope this explains.
</i>><i>
</i>><i> Regards,
</i>><i>
</i>><i> Bob"

Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Duff Campbell's Revenge - who wrote it?
Oh Great List - can anyone tell me who wrote Duff Campbell's revenge
please? It seems to be credited to Turk but I seem to recall a
discussion here that mentioned it being written by someone else.
