 Did Benny Goodman ever play Bartok's Contrasts again?

Benny Good commissioned and premiered Bartok's Contrasts for violin, clarinet and piano. Playing it was quite an accomplishment: it is difficult to play now, let alone 80 years ago. I was wondering whether he ever performed it again in public. I love his original performance (with Bartok and Szigeti). I have heard the piece dozens of times by different artists and have played it, but Benny makes it sound like a lyrical improvisation and not at all rough and jerky the way it is often played.
