[78-L] Sinatra Question

[Kristjan Saag]

On Paul Williams' original from December 1948 someone shout's "Not now - 
I'll tell you when!" at the end of the recording, and a similar shout is 
heard on Lionel Hampton's cover from May 1949, as well as on Sinatra's 
recording. Obviously these shouts are thought to be part of the dance 
instructions.
The song itself is based on Charlie Parker's "Now's The Time" - Paul 
William's picked it up after having heard Lucky Millinder's arrangement 
of it around 1947-1948. The song was then called "D'Natural Blues". 
Bullmoose Jackson was, at the time, member of the Milllinder band.
So Bullmoose Jackson is a good guess.
Although it was Paul Williams who started to associate the song with the 
Hucklebuck dance...
