Big Lip Blues sheet music?

Author: Chalumeau Joe

I recently got Wynton Marsalis' CD, "Standard Time, Vol. 6, Mr. Jelly Lord". One of the cuts is "Big Lip Blues" that features the clarinet.

I have tried to find the sheet music for this piece and haven't had any success. It's not in any Jelly Roll Morton song book. I also contacted my usual "hard-to-find" sheet music purveyor, (Dale Music in Silver Spring, MD) and they couldn't find any listing for it.

Any suggestions who may have the sheet music for this? (I'm really trying to avoid having to transpose it myself.)

I just recently listened to that recording. Its a very nice piece. I hipe to learn it soon.

Here is a chord progression I was able to find. Maybe someone will be gracious enough to provide the melody.
