My wife likes Red Nichols since he plays a trumpet. She has quite the collection, but I don't think she has this song.

This is from his earlier works, 1927-1931.

The movie is a good one, but I have found it doesn't give a good representation of his music from the '20's to the early '30's. The bands he led during that period had some of the best talent of the big band era. The personnel changed depending on who was at loose ends at a given time.
