One O'Clock Jump
By Count Basie and His Orchestra. This is a riff, based jam:
Notes:
- You can hear some Boogie Woogie in the piano part. This makes sense as Count Basie is playing it.
- The Sax and Trombone are Trading 4's (ish, more like 4 phrases)
- Notice how much more improvisation there is, compared to Duke Ellington and His Orchestra which was more orchestrated ahead of time
- Jo Jones is playing with the wire brushes (or sticks really lightly)
- The saxes are playing background riffs (in this case simple triad arpeggios). Again more improvisation!
