Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail where the prison band began playing loudly. All the inmates, including Spider Murphy on tenor saxophone and Little Joe on trombone, began dancing wildly to the music. The drummer from Illinois played with a crash, boom, bang style while the whole rhythm section, called the Purple Gang, kept the beat. Soon the entire cell block was dancing to the song Jailhouse Rock.
