Not sure what you're looking for, but here's some information:
"In that city in October 1936, the band had a recording session which the producer John Hammond later described as "the only perfect, completely perfect recording session I've ever had anything to do with".[31] Hammond had heard Basie's band over short-wave radio and went to Kansas City to check them out.[32] He invited them to record, in performances which were Lester Young's earliest recordings. Those four sides were released under the band name of Jones-Smith Incorporated; the sides were "Shoe Shine Boy", "Evening", "Boogie Woogie", and "Oh, Lady Be Good". Basie had already signed with Decca Records, but did not have his first recording session with them until January 1937.[33]"
And here's something to consider:

Thing is that Bassie had just signed a 2-year exclusive contact and Hammond was recording the Bassie Band somewhat under the radar ... there were threats to sue but as Bassie's name was never mentioned in the JSI release there was really nothing that could be done!
Heard part of a Hammond interview where he discusses Jones-Smith, Inc extensively.
And the release is really good, Lester Young who was making waves at the time was on the date
