Camel Hop by Benny Goodman
Anyone ever DJ'd this or heard it played? Just looking at a few late 30s BG tunes and realising I don't think I've ever heard this played. I think it was named after Camel cigarettes who sponsored one of Benny Goodman's radio series.

The last time I played it was during my July 6th set in the Herräng library 2009 (I think you were there, but maybe not in the room), so it obviously doesn't come out of my box that often, but now that I listen to it I realise I could use it more. I'll probably play it at the Sweden Balboa Weekend in Uppsala this coming mid September. It seems to be a Mary Lou Williams piece, arranged by Jimmy Mundy (it's on my Hep disc "BG plays JM").
