BIlly Eckstine - the 1940's
from Hear Me Talkin' To Ya: The Classic Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It, page 349:
If you ever listen to Diz [Dizzy Gillespie] humming something, he hums the drum and bass part and everything because it all fits in with what he's doing. Like OOP-BOP-SH'BAM. That's a drum thing. And "Salt Peanuts" was another. It was a drum lick; that's the reason Kenny Clarke's name is on it.
