- Count Basie's 1938 Decca recording of "Jumpin' at the Woodside," with solos by Basie, piano; Earle Warren, alto sax; Buck Clayton, trumpet; Lester Young, tenor sax; and Herschel Evans, clarinet.
One of the greatest recordings in American history.
I've been listening to Prez for 39 years and it never gets old!
I've been listening to Prez for more than 50 years, and every time something by Prez, or Billie comes on the radio or the speakers in a Starbucks, I stop everything and am thrilled by him. He's always like a breath of fresh air on a spring day, and she's simply beyond description.
To the poster -- many thanks for the photo of Hershel Evans, the first I've seen of Prez's friend, section mate, and musical rival in the Basie sax section. I've read that Prez paid his funeral expenses. .
And yes, this is an excellent transfer of the original recording.

Me too
there's no pictures of Herschel Evans in this video
I feel a passion to promote the early Billie Holiday recordings, to which Lester Young made a treasured contribution. I somehow acquired the 3-record set "The Golden Years, Volume 2" when I was 15. Soon buying the single LP that featured Lester Young and Billie Holiday together. (I forget the name. The record is in a storage unit in Texas. I'm still on the road and I'm 70.)
@@tenorsfan7492 Herschel may have been dead by the time of the photos. The relatively new Mosaic Savory set includes two CDs of the 1938 Basie band when Herschel was still alive and playing very well. I gained a far greater appreciation of his playing from that set.
@@tenorsfan7492As far as I know, there are no photos of Herschel Evans playing clarinet, but even so, it might have been more appropriate to show a couple of shots of him playing tenor rather than Pres (playing tenor) during Herschel's solo at the end perhaps?
I love that song...
This and Blue and Sentimental are my personal favorite instrumental Count Basie Band recordings from the 1930s. When I was 14 and started playing Tenor Sax (1974), I always thought Illinois Jacquet got his tone from Lester Young and Herschel Evans. My father had no albums with Chu Berry, who is supposed to be the main influence on Jacquet. While I hear a Chumash Berry influence, I still hear a strong Pres and Evans influence in Jacquet, who along with Pres are among my personal favorites on Tenor Sax, along with Johnny Griffin, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Coltrane.
God just that two bar intro on the tenor solo gives me chills every time...

swing dancers love this version of Jumpin at the Woodside. The tempo is fast enough to do lindy hop to comfortably but not so fast that it makes you feel rushed. Ihave heard faster tempos of the same song which are not as satisfying to dance to. This tempo is perfect.
Shoutout to my guy count basie
hello child
Yes, the Woodside was damn sure jumpin', Basie and the guys were feelin' it!
The band used to stay at the Woodside Hotel in Harlem and used to practice in the basement.
Oh right! I always imagined some pastoral woody location like a band camp, deep in the country. Oh well.
I believe the song refers to the Woodside Hotel in Kansas City. Correct me if I'm wrong
No body swings like Basie!!!...
Wow.... they do not make music like this anymore...... love the Swing...... love the saxophones !!!!
Super good :)) 😇

Boa Noite mister Mike zirpolo apaz meu amigo
PRES 🎆
This shows Prez's prowess on clarinet as well as tenor sax.
Steven Davis The clarinet solo in this song is by Herschel Evans. You can hear how Lester sounds on clarinet in "Blue and Sentimental" (Evans feature piece in Basie's band).
And try Lester with the Kansas City Six, on clarinet on "I Want a Little Girl." An eight bar solo that says everything.
please dont be racist
PM.
