This one stumped me. All I can tell is that it's probably from the late 1940's - early 1950's era when Louis Jordan and Buddy Johnson were playing a lot of jump bluesy stuff like this. Hope this narrows your search down just a bit.

Yes it sounds very much like a Buddy Johnson track from the 1940s.

I tried to preview 3-4 Buddy Johnson CDs - nothing similar to that track. :(

No it doesn't sound like Buddy Johnson to me.

It is more likely to be someone like Paul Williams, Hal Singer, or Wild Bill Moore. Sometime around 1949.
