A pair of assists to Chuck Ruff for both his naming the synthesizer rock instrumental and drumming:

Really, the 50 year mark for the tune was a few years ago. Like dig this performance from 1970.... And some thought Edgar was just a smokin' sax and keys man.  Sepiatone |

Sepiatone I should've clarified by typing that it was fifty years ago this period that Dr. Winter's monster was roaming the radio stations... Edgar Winter's brother here(!!) notwithstanding, Sepiatone, the THEY ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT version is the one that most counted. |

I got that. But wasn't sure whether or not you were aware of how old the tune itself really was. And no foul there as it wasn't until about four or five years ago I first came across that clip with Johnny. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something they jammed on back further than '70.
After all, "One P'Clock Jump" was a warm up exercise Count Basie's band used for years before his band, at it's first radio performance, ran through their complete set and the radio station's producer said they still had several minutes more to fill so please play something. NOW, please? Well, according to legend, the exercise was given the title "blue balls" by the band, but knowing he couldn't say that on the air, looked up at the clock, which read "1 O'Clock" and introduced it as "One O'Clock Jump".
And the rest is history.
NOTE: That story about the tune was heard by me on the Ken Burns documentary JAZZ.
