One O'Clock Jump (With Woody Herman And Buddy Rich)?

Uncertain if played and recorded.

In 1982 Ray Charles guested at a Buddy Rich TV show at the Statler Hotel in New York. Peter Turre, Ray's drummer, remembered that they participated in the finale with Woody Herman and Buddy Rich, possibly playing One O'Clock Jump.
Unfortunately, the footage with Ray has not been published, but the Drum Channel has promised that "more" (but how much more, and when?) will once be released.

Ray Charles Ft. In The Buddy Rich Show (1982)

In 1982 Buddy Rich filmed three shows over three days at the Statler Hotel in New York.
Ray Charles guested; on the second show he performed Georgia On My Mind, and Busted (his 'own' percussionist, Pete Turre, playing on Buddy's drums). With Buddy and Woody he also participated in Cousins.*.
