My community band has the arrangement you may be looking for (except that the dates don't seem to match. The title says "St. Louis Blues March, as played by Tex Beneke on Victor Record 20-2722-A. Arr. by Jerry Gray". It is a march-size publication and this arrangemant was copyright MCMXLVIII (I think that's 1948) by W.C. Handy, published by Handy Brothers Music Co., 1650 Broadway, New York. There are earlier copyrights listed that go back to 1916. As band librarian I happen to have several parts at home in a stack of music to be filed. We played this about a year ago and as I remember we have quite a few extra parts on file. What instrumentation do you need and how quickly do you need it?
