"Jubilesta" is a different composition. ["Jubilesta" 370920 (same session as Dim./Cresc. In Blue), Cootie Williams dto. 371026. "Jubilesta" is apparently a contraction of "Jubilee" and "Fiesta". It was copyrighted in 1938, composers Duke Ellington and Juan Tizol, author Irving Mills. / Charlie Barnet recorded it in 1937 as "Emperor Jones". - Schuller, Swing Era 716n: "Jubilesta was one of those "rhythmically torrid" pseudo-junglistic pieces that had a great vogue in the thirties."]
