In Hear Me Talkin' To Ya: The Story Of Jazz As Told By The Men Who Made It (1955) by Nat Shapiro and Nat Hentoff, Jimmy McPartland recalled how the title originated: "[A]fter a couple of weeks we moved into the Whitby Apartments, where Gil Rodin, Dick Morgan, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller had a suite.

1411" was released on German Brunswick as a green label 78 single with the 1928 studio recording of "Jungle Blues" as the flip side.

The instrumental was performed by the Ballyhoo Foxtrot Orchestra at the 2011 Glenn Miller Festival in Des Moines, Iowa, The Mlp's Dixie Blue Blowers in 2018, Italian clarinetist Lorenzo Baldasso in 2021, and by the Original Swingtime Big Band in concert in Vienna, Austria in 2012.
