Subject: Lyr Req: 'One O'Clock Jump' From: magician Date: 03 Mar 06 - 08:21 AM I'm looking for the lyrics to Count Basie's One O'Clock Jump. It's the song that was his theme tune. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'One O'Clock Jump' From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Mar 06 - 12:30 PM I'm still looking, but I always thought it was an instrumental-only piece. I found it in one fakebook - without lyrics. Count Basie's One O'Clock Jump album had three instrumental versions of the song. It also had vocals by Ella Fitzgerald - but not on the title song. It seems like a tune that coud go well with lyrics, though. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'One O'Clock Jump' From: fat B****rd Date: 03 Mar 06 - 03:18 PM look on Google under "Jon Hendricks Lyrics". He wrote a wonderful "Vocalese" version of this tune and if you get hold of "Lambert, Hendricks and Ross Sing a Song of Basie" or "Lambert Hendricks and Bavan at Newport" you can hear it. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'One O'Clock Jump' From: Flash Company Date: 04 Mar 06 - 10:14 AM This is one I have not come across, it used to be a bit of a thing with vocal groups in the '40s & '50s producing lyrics to cash in on instrumental hits. I know it was done with Opus One and Moonlight Seranade, but don't recall One O'Clock Jump. FC |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'One O'Clock Jump' From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 04 Mar 06 - 03:33 PM Lambert, Hendricks and Ross (as you might imagine) did a version of this. It's on Sing A Song Of Basie which is now available on CD - you can hear the 1st minute on Amazon (Sing a song of Basie). There is also a reference to it in a forum, with a comment suggesting that Basie didn't want the words published: Google cache of Harmonyware.com - I couldn't get the original page up and I don't know if this link will remain valid.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'One O'Clock Jump' From: Flash Company Date: 05 Mar 06 - 11:12 AM I think I remember that disc 'Sing a Song of Basie' being issued, but I never actually heard it. I wasn't exactly in to Lambert, Hendricks and Ross at the time. I can believe that The Count was not happy with it, though! FC |
