[Answered] St Louis Blues, Benny Goodman (1947)

There's a song that I DJed once at a balboa practice where, near the end of the song, the tempo doubled and the clarinet started playing the One O'Clock Jump melody for around 32 bars (+/- 16). Then it slowed back down for a groovy St Louis Blue finale.
The reaction was amazing. The whole room shifted and everyone went from a slow-moderate tempo pure-bal to a fast, energetic bal-swing, then back again.
Unfortunately, I was DJing the song from an online Google Music library and it was since removed from the catalog (I've switched to owning all my music because of this).
I'm 95% sure it was Benny Goodman. I'm 90% sure the melody during the uptempo portion was One O'Clock Jump. I'm 80% sure the song was a rendition of St Louis Blues.
Anyone have any idea what it might be?
