[78-L] Art Tatum Trio - Body & Soul 1943?

[David Lennick]

Laubich & Spencer (1982) list a number of performances of Body And Soul prior 
to 1944, including a Decca 78 (1937), a Standard Transcription (1940), an 
unissued performance recorded in Jerry Newman's apartment in 1940, a live 
performance recorded by Jerry Newman at Gee-Haw Stables in July 1941..none with 
the trio.

I notice also that the disc is stamped Jan. 26 1943 and hand-written April 24/43.
