Laughing Trumpet

[effortq]

Does anyone know of a recording where the trumpeter couldn't stop cracking up during the session and kept laughing into his trumpet? I'd like to know the trumpeter, the name of the song, and where I might be able to find a recording of it. Thanks.

Laughin' Louie wasn't it. I found two takes: numbers 203 & 218 from the RCA Victor recordings. There wasn't really any actual cracking up in those two. I was told that what I'm looking for is more of an outtake where they kept trying to record the song but the trumpeter kept laughing into his trumpet. I haven't found "Laughin' in Rhythm" yet, so I don't know, but I think that maybe the song isn't about laughing, there's just laughing in it. I appreciate your help though.
