Ragtime composition first recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass Band in 1917. The music was credited to band members Eddie Edwards, Nick La Rocca, Henry Ragas, Tony Sbarbaro and Larry Shields, and lyrics to Harry Da Costa; however, several New Orleans musicians claimed that the tune had already existed for years before the ODJB's recording. Jelly Roll Morton claimed in an interview that he had composed it. The music was possibly based on an old French quadrille. Louis Armstrong recorded the tune in 1930, and based his 1927 composition "Hotter Than That" on its chord progression. Art Tatum made an influential piano recording of the tune in 1932. Immediately popular after its initial release, the tune fell out of fashion during the swing era, and is rarely performed by jazz musicians today.
