Does anyone know the theme of One O'Clock Jump?
Bill, The Kid from Red Bank or The Count, seemed to close first and second half of his concerts/gigs with it. He would usually play a few choruses before going into the ride outs at the close of the first half and have plenty of soloists cut loose in the version at the gig end.
All the ride outs seem to be head arrangements where one muso has started a backing riff that was taken up by their section, the first ride out is obviously sax based. The trombone glisses are again typical as are the trumpet stabs. The arranger obviously took over and scored it but as Basie's intros varied between many heavy bass chords to a single note, what is the theme of this twelve bar?
Apologies for being serious.
