Description
78 RPM 12 INCH ACETATE BY COUNT BASIE AND HIS ORCHESTRA PERFORMING AN EXTENDED VERSION OF' "ONE O'CLOCK JUMP" FROM AN ARMED FORCES NETWORK (A.F.N.) BROADCAST. THIS DISC WAS FROM THE COLLECTION OF GERARD "DAVE" POCHONET AND WAS RECORDED IN FRANCE OFF THE A.F.N. THERE IS NO DATE ON THE DISC BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS FROM 1944 OR 1945. BASIE STARTS WITH HIS TWO CHORUSES AND THEN BUDDY TATE COMES IN FOR TWO. A TROMBONE SOLO (SOUNDS LIKE TED DONNELLY) PLAYS TWO MORE IN OLD TIME ROUGH STYLE FOLLOWED BY BASS/PIANO THEN THE FAMILIAR THEME MELODY. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN EXTRA TIME ON THE BROADCAST BECAUSE THE BAND JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING WITH NEW RIFFS TOPPED BY RUDY RUTHERFORD'S CLARINET WAILING FOR ABOUT SIX MORE CHORUSES. THE NUMBER RUNS OVER FOUR MINUTES. THE CONDITION IS ABOUT "E" WITH GOOD SOUND FOR AN OFF THE AIR RECORDING. THERE ARE A FEW TICKS BUT GENERALLY IT PLAYS THROUGH CLEANLY. THE OTHER SIDE IS A DUB OF "I FOUND A NEW BABY" FROM A ROY ELDRIDGE V-DISC. STARTING BID FOR THIS UNIQUE ITEM IS $49.99. SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE JAZZ, BOP, R&B AND R&R.
