I just watched a move called "Swing Time" with Fred Astaire [1936].
It had a piece of music called "Waltz in Swing Time", or "Swing
Time", which was a waltz. Does anyone know if this music exists
on piano roll?

[ "Trying to assimilate Kern to the metallic clamor of today's
[ Broadway was a fairly thankless task to start with. Despite his
[ knack for explosive syncopation, he generally disliked jazz --
[ Robert Russell Bennett allegedly had to show him how to write
[ "The Waltz in Swing Time" in swing time -- and tended to compose
[ operetta-tinged romantic music that already seemed a throwback
[ in the Broadway of the 1930s."
