Is "Wrapped Tight" by Hawkins considered a bebop standard? Is he the first one to record this song? Or was it recorded earlier?
After scouring the web, I unfortunately haven't been able to find any other recordings of this song. I checked Discogs, MusicBrainz, Wikipedia, JazzStandards.com, WhoSampled, etc. So, assuming that there are no other recordings, your questions should be easy to answer.
