One O'Clock Jump One O'Clock Jump "One O'Clock Jump" is a jazz standard, a 12-bar blues instrumental, written by Count Basie in 1937. The melody derived from band members' riffs--Basie rarely wrote down musical ideas, so Eddie Durham and Buster Smith helped him crystallize his ideas. The original 1937 recording of the tune by Basie and his band is noted for the saxophone work of Herschel Evans and Lester Young, trumpet by Buck Clayton, Walter Page on bass and Basie himself on piano. "One O'Clock Jump" became the theme song of the Count Basie Orchestra. They used it to close each of their
Naked and Famous time, in 1989. Both versions appear on the expanded 10th anniversary issue of their debut album. Naked and Famous "Naked and Famous" is the name of the second single by the alternative rock band The Presidents of the United States of America. This single was the follow-up to their debut recording, "Fuck California". "Naked and Famous" was later released on the Presidents' debut album and features Soundgarden's Kim Thayil on guitar. A version of Puffy Little Shoes appeared on their second album "II". There were two different versions of the cover. Both were limited to only 1000, numbered by hand.
