Spreadin' Rhythm Around

Here's a transcription of another tune originally from the film "King Of Burlesque" which Fats doesn't perform in the movie.

It's a catchy little tune perfectly suited to Fats' piano style. It was included in the Broadway Fats Waller musical show "Ain't Misbehavin" and one can hear elements of Fats' piano playing incorporated into the arrangement by arranger/orchestrator Luther Henderson. I've added some alternate chord substitutions that Henderson uses in his Broadway version which works well in Fats' original version too.

Here's the original:
