Are you discounting the February, 1952 recording by Paul Lingle on Good Time Jazz? That was pretty significant when it was released in 1953, and where many of us learned Black Bottom Stomp from. If you don't have They Tore My Playhouse Down with Paul Lingle and Burt Bales, and like Jelly Roll Style, then get it. I had the 10" records of these growing up, so have known them forever.
My Rainier Jazz Band played this piece thru the Late 70s -early 80s. Ralph, I saw for the first time at the fledgling Sacramento Festival then on stage just after our performance. This famous musician was making a comeback at that time I think...Not sure. Ran
Note: Barry Durkee (Rainier Jazz ldr until he passed in '81) was a part of the group that started this world class festival now. He moved to Seattle and started our Jazz Club in '75, PSTJS.
This is the only piano solo I know of this tune. It is a great Jelly Roll Morton number. His Victor Red Hot Peppers recording is one of the finest jazz recordings of the 1920's.

Used to see Ralph as I live in Colorado, have been to a jazz party that Ralph attended--really the last of the great striders.
