Jelly Roll Morton [same mood in The Crave; Alan Lomax recording]
James P. Johnson [as The Dream, credited to John Wilson (Jack The Bear) who played it a lot; in 1938 as The Bull Biker's Dream for Alan Lomax]
Ry Cooder [idem on Jazz; with Earl Hines on piano; credited to Jack The Bear and Jess (sic) Pickett]
Marian McPartland [with Eubie Blake]
Floyd Domino [as The Dream in film The Newton Boys]
Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán [habañera arrangement as Bolero Sonámbulo]
