Musician from the 1945 swing tune "Jivin' Joe Jackson" by Count Basie and his Orchestra, sung by Ann Moore. Written by Count Basie, C. Kirchner, and L. Sprankle.
He does an "oriental boogie beat that knocks the natives off their feet."
Billboard referred to it as a "trite Harlemese ditty" in their review.
