Ukulele strumming for Rosetta 1933 Jazz

Pianist/composer/bandleader Earl Fatha Hines first recorded Rosetta with his orchestra on February 13, 1933, then again on September 24, 1934. The lyric was written by his bands arranger Henri Woode.
An early influence on pianist Teddy Wilson was Earl Hines, undoubtedly one of the reasons Wilson was hired by Hines former boss Louis Armstrong in 1933. On Teddys first solo session from 1934, he pays homage to his mentor on a stellar Rosetta.
Hines 1933 tune was a favorite of New Orleans-born trumpeter Henry Red Allen. He first recorded it in 1937, and as the years progressed his versions became more interesting. His performance on the CBS-TV special The Sound of Jazz from 1957 is a gem, with fine work from cohort Coleman Hawkins on tenor sax, clarinetist Pee Wee Russell and cornets Rex Stewart.

It is nnot vertain who Rozetta was but, one of Louis Armstrong's wives was named Rosetta.
