All the Cats Join In is a song written by Ray Gilbert, Eddie Sauter and Alec Wilder, and first recorded by Benny Goodman. It later was a track on an LP with the same title by trumpeter Buck Clayton.
Curiously, Goodman recorded this song three times. The first-released version, released after the ASCAP boycott of 1944–1948, followed a version which was only put out later. [1]
The third recording was for a segment of the 1946 Walt Disney film Make Mine Music . [2]
The record album was subtitled 25 Star Jazzmen in a Buck Clayton Jam Session. It was recorded between 1953 and 1956 and released by Columbia. [3] [4]
