What do you call that low bumping bass tone in the background of all those jazz songs from the 1940's and 1950's (and some early 1960's)? It loops and kinda goes like "boom boom bom boom badoo boom boom bom boom boom boom"?
Example: starts at 0:09 and can be heard behind the clapping

...it's just a bassline?

It's this specific one, and I hear it everywhere.
OP might be referring to walking bass.
Anyway, bass in that song basically plays fifths.
I-vi-ii-V is just a super common chord progression in music from that period

It's just a really generic bassline that's been used in a few songs. There isn't a special name for it or anything.
a syncopated beat. it's an off-beat bassline drum pattern with a pickup
I think I kinda know what you mean OP. Is it like the bass in the Monty Python intermission music?

in jazz the chord progression that gives you that circle of fifths bassline is often called the Heart and Soul progression after the song:
