Does anyone know if the listed "Jack Fulton" is the same Jack Fulton who was well known in Vancouver jazz circles? Thanks.

This is a different version of this tune then the one I knew. I heard this as part of a two part series called Benny Goodman, Thesaurus on the old Sunbeam records label

No, don't think so at all. Can see why you might thnk that though. Wound't that be some table to sit with a beer after the gig, Benny Goodman and George Burns talking to them about an earlier time?
