[78-L] Now you has jazz

[David Lennick]

According to Lord, it is indeed Johnny Green and the MGM Studio Orchestra on 
Now You Has Jazz with Arvell Shaw and Barrett Deems, and Louis Armstrong And 
His Band on High Society Calypso, which was the flip side of the single.

The record was published in the aftermath of the 78 rpm era on Capitol 3506 (matrix E 15720-D). It is rather silly that the label states that the song is accompanied by Johnnie Green conducting the MGM Studio Orchestra, as we know that it is Armstrong's band that is featured on the record. I think this was very sloppy of Capitol.
