Fredell: "The 1937 'Diminuendo and Crescendo' is a dramatic potpourri of shifting tonality, subtle rhythms, irregular measures, and inimitable orchestration, played with swing-era urbanity over a Cheshire Cat undertone reminiscent of Cotton Club exoticism. The piece clocks in at just under six glorious minutes. It is so striking that in 1987 Martin Williams chose to include it in the Smithsonian's standard recorded history of jazz."

Doin' The Voom Voom (Ellington - Bub Miley, c. 1929) D.E. a. his Cotton Club Orch. 290116 // Brooks Kerr: Soda Fountain Rag 75. With Sonny Greer // Martin Williams, The Jazz Tradition p. 125 states that the 1929 Ellington-Miley Doin' The Voom Voom, in AABA song form (an obvious Cotton Club specialty), became the 1931 Horace Henderson-Fletcher Henderson pair of pieces called Hot And Anxious (a blues) and Comin' And Goin' (partly a blues). Those pieces also added the riff later called In The Mood. These, in turn, became Count Basies's Swinging The Blues. Meanwhile, Doin' The Voom Voom had also obviously inspired the Lunceford-Will Hudson specialties White Heat and Jazznocrazy, and these in turn prompted the Harry James-Benny Goodman Life Goes To A Party. In the last piece, the background figure (an up-and-down scalar motive) to one of the trumpet solos on Voom Voom had been slightly changed and elevated into a main theme.
