We must remember also that the starting point is Charles Delaunay who wrote that a short film (The title "Jazz Hot" was not mentioned) was shot in 1938 in Paris with a total of three tunes including "J'attendrai".

It's possible the other tunes are just "Handel's Largo" and whatever tune the orchestra plays after that.

@pickitjohn .... God is in the House for sure.

It comes from the story I believe it was fats Waller playing piano in a club and Tatum comes in. If memory is right Fats comments to the audience ...I may be the King but tonight God is in the House.

Tatum was Stephane's favourite pianist.

What a horrible possibilty!!

But without more definite information, we can only speculate. Even if Delaunay was right and they filmed more tunes, there is a strong probability they were discarded once it was decided not to use them. ~X( Cultural vandals!!!
