Jumpin' with Symphony Sid is a jazz tune written by Lester Young in 1946 to honor the influential jazz DJ Sid Torin, known as Symphony Sid. The original recording was by Lester Young and His Sextet, made in October 1946 and first released in January 1947. The piece sits in the swing and early bebop era of jazz and is not tied to a specific album in the sources, having circulated as a single and as part of Young's recordings. Over the years the tune has been covered by many artists, including King Pleasure in the early 1950s and Dizzy Gillespie in 1954, making it a bebop standard; there are also conflicting stories about how Sid got his nickname.
