There's a video clip on YouTube of Count Basie's Septet playing One O'Clock Jump. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7W8KnUzTpE The great Buddy DeFranco plays clarinet, and personnel otherwise is Clark Terry, Wardell Gray, Count Basie, Freddie Green, Jimmy Lewis and Gus Johnson. Recorded in 1950. This is even be available on DVD. I found a DVD on http://aebersold.com called "Lester Young & Count Basie - Jammin' The Blues". There are 10 tracks on it, the last five by Count Basie's small band recorded in 1950, and featuring Buddy DeFranco.

Seeing Wardell Gray reminds us again of another great talent whose life was tragically ended far too soon...GBK

Off-topic, but adding to GBK's remark -- one of the saddest films I've ever seen was "Round Midnight", starring tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon as a composite character (intended to portray Lester Young, mostly), but really about the sad decline and early death of Dexter himself. Too real.....
