Yeah, Willie really smokes on "Nagasaki" on that Berlin show. And his version of "I Found a New Baby", monstrous! That left hand literally cries out, "Get out of my way, Ima' comin' through!"
Willie was such a monster! Great pianist, great composer.
Did Willie The Lion Smith or Fats Waller ever perform "big noise from Winnetka" ?
(composed by Bob Crosby And the Bobcats)

My granddad used to whistle this tune all the time "hot ginger and dynamite!"

Really love this take of Nagasaki, not quite like the version from Berlin but still great.
