WOW! Zounds! Knock my socks off! "Cut my legs off, and call me Shorty!" That's AWESOME. I never remember hearing quite as lush a sound as this from Hamp's 1930's bands, and I had an entire Bluebird CD reissue of his Victor sides at one time. THANKS, I feel like I "learned something new" today!

@BcuzJazz Oh man, you're missing out!

Check out my post of Hamp's "Ain't Cha Comin' Home" on another Canadian Victor (26362). I tell you, it's just exceptionally ethereal, extremely soulful, irresistibly moving and is indeed one of my Desert Island 78's. Here's the link:
