One O'Clock Jump

The original 1937 version of One O'Clock Jump is still the definitive, thanks in part to the arranging skills of Eddie Durham and Harry “Buster” Smith, the duelling saxes of Herschel Evans and Lester Young, and Basie’s own light yet tight, syncopated swinging piano.

This song is typical of Basie's early riff style. The instrumentation is based on "head arrangements" where each section makes up their part based on what the other sections are playing. Individuals take turns improvising over the top of the entire sound.
