Here's a clip from the movie "Stormy Weather" (1943) featuring Cab Calloway and his orchestra performing "Jumpin Jive". After awhile they let the Nicholas Brothers jump in and lend their feet to the action.

Fred Astaire once told the Nicholas brothers that this dance number was the greatest movie musical sequence he had ever seen.
