I very much doubt if there is any sheet music, as it was clearly a studio 'concoction' which was probably never played 'live'.<br />John Wurrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323643089904400443.post-46270621966757501432012-09-18T14:34:48.748-04:002012-09-18T14:34:48.748-04:00Hello!

This is an excellent analysis. Could I just add:<br /><br />1. Louis' scat vocal - you suggest that in the second half "he's almost singing to a different tempo but everything still fits beautifully". Actually, he IS singing to a John Wurrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323643089904400443.post-51498295202259548042010-07-16T08:57:08.839-04:002010-07-16T08:57:08.839-04:00Interesting comment about Louis inventing the Swin...Interesting comment about Louis inventing the Swing Era in 1927. I found myself describing "I'm Goin' Hunting" by Jimmy Bertrand's Washboard Wizards thus: "Just think about it this way: It was recorded in 1927, but Louis is playing in 1938 and everyone else is still playing in 1918."

Just listened to this song on Columbia's The Best of Louis Armstrong: The Hot Five & Hot Seven Recordings and went to see if I could find anything about it on Google. Very interesting stuff.
