I remember one of my high school jazz band's concerts in one of the gyms senior year. I remember the audience responding to the music in a way none of our other audiences had. I remember many students clapping along in rhythm.
What I don't remember is the song that elicited that reaction. I remember it was uptempo.
"C Jam Blues?"
Probably not. That's a great jazz standard, but I don't think it was that one.
"Jumpin' At The Woodside?"
Although it would have been impressive to hear so many people react so positively to that tune, I think we actually played it the year before--and possibly just in rehearsals.
"Pressure Cooker?"
Possibly...As much as I enjoyed the bionic shifting and fast, continuous playing that tune required from me as a bass player, I'm not sure this was it, though.
This is driving me crazy. If I remember the tune, I'll write an updated post.
