Jumpin’ at the Woodside – Peterson/Basie 1974
Filmed at a concert in Prague Oscar Peterson and Count Basie play a short version of Jumpin’ at the Woodside.
Initially "Jumpin’ at the Woodside" was a huge hit for Count Basie and the Basie band. The tune is fairly simple harmonically and in its arrangement, mostly serving as a vehicle for lively soloing and notable for its excellent swing feel. The tune was named after Kansas City’s Woodside Hotel where many of the band members stayed and where the tune was rehearsed
In this impromptu performance Basie starts the tune just like that which creates a big smile on Peterson’s face and off they go for a few minutes of nice and loose playing complimenting each other.
