After a deliberately prosaic piano introduction, the brass section enters muted and pianissimo, playing suspended hamonics in a strangely shifting patter. This passage is unique in Ellington's muisc, and the rest of the record, suffering somewhat from the Camden echo, fails to maintain this level of music-making, although the succeeding saxophone passage is excellent in its indolent ease and relaxation. A second take was issued in the late seventies, this has a better performance of the later parts of the scene, but the first chorus is not improved by touches of clarinet and baritone saxophone."

December 3, 1931 * ARC acquires Warner's labels ** Warner Bros. Pictures transferred its Brunswick, Vocalion and Melotone contracts, trademarks and catalog of master recordings to ARC in December 1931. As long as it succeeded in selling 250,000 Brunswick records annually, ARC was to pay WB a fee for any existing Brunswick inventory it sold and a royalty on any pressing it made from existing masters. It was able to issue its own recordings on those three labels for no charge, though, at no charge. Result: As of 2011, any Brunswick masters recorded before Dec. 3, 1931 are controlled by Vivendi-Universal, and those made between Dec. 3, 1931 and the end of 1940 are controlled by Sony Music, on behalf of Sony-BMG. The budget priced (+/- 25 cents) labels Banner, Conqueror, Jewel, Oriole, Perfect, Regal, and Romeo were controlled by ARC at the end of 1931. Brunswick was its prestigious label, selling at 75 cents. Brunswick recording sessions at the Brunswick studio at 799 Seventh Avenue ceased on December 21, 1931, and began again at the ARC studio in early 1932 at ARC's studio at 1776 Broadway.

	Lazy Rhapsody Columbia 35834 (Album C38 side 1) Matrix B11205-B Steven Lasker's notes say some copies of Columbia 35834 use the master take which is misidentified as a previously unreleased second master. He writes this song originated as an accompaniment to When It's Sleepy Time Down South, and the two takes in the 11 CD release were originally titled Lullaby when they were recorded. The title was changed two days later to Lazy Rhapsody, and again to Swanee Rhapsody, and labels were printed for both titles.Swanee was supposed to be used but a few copies of Lazy Rhapsody slipped out. When take B was issued on the red Columbia label in 1940, it was titled Lazy Rhapsody. He also points out this Columbia album, released in 1940, was produced by George Avakian, but credited to John Hammond.
