Earl Bostic - Jungle Drums
I like it when I google a record and it brings up an old Billboard magazine entry. This from 24 April 1954: "It started off strong in New York, Buffalo, St. Louis and Cincinnati, and was also reported good in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Nashville and Atlanta." It doesn't say anything about Baltimore, but Earl Bostic's Jungle Drums is another tune featured in John Waters' Cry Baby. The record was actually released in 1953 and has Bostic on alto sax and a young Stanley Turrentine on tenor.
