How many choruses of the blues does the Count Basie band play during "One O'Clock Jump"?

(NOTE: This song is based on the blues form. Remember the number of measures in the blues form, notice the familiar number of beats in each measure, and notice the walking bassline. Each repeat of the blues form is called a chorus. After a short musical introduction, the first chorus of blues begins at time marker 0:11.)

First, let's parse the question: we're asked how many choruses of the blues the Count Basie band plays during "One O'Clock Jump," with the note that the first chorus begins at 0:11 and that a chorus corresponds to one traversal of the 12-bar blues form.

Option 7: The idea of 7 choruses would imply 7 complete 12-bar cycles. If you listen for the structure, the recording presents multiple such cycles, but the given performance details (introduction plus a defined number of repeated blues cycles) do not align with a clean seven-cycle wrap. This makes 7 an unlikely total when compared to the standard reported counts for this performance.

Option 15: Proposing 15 choruses would amount to 180 bars of 12-bar blues, which is unusually long for a single performance of this tune in a typical Count Basie arrangement. The recording length and the documented form suggest far fewer cycles than 15, so this appears excessive for the piece in question.

Option 10: Ten choruses would mean 120 bars. While plausible for some extended performances, the known arrangement and common analyses of this track describe a smaller, more concise blues form in this performance. The number 10 does not match those standard descriptions.

Option 8: Eight choruses corresponds to 96 bars of 12-bar blues. This aligns with many analyses of the track where the introduction precedes eight complete blues choruses, including the first chorus starting at 0:11 and the closing cadence fitting within a typical Count Basie performance length. The walking bassline and repeated blues framework fit the 8-cycle interpretation well, and the track’s pacing supports this total.

In summary, each wrong choice conflicts with either the typical length of the performance or the structural cues of a 12-bar blues form, whereas eight choruses coherently match the documented framing of the piece and its execution in this recording.
