    Seeing young Betty Carter and Wes Montgomery at the start of their careers with Hamp is a treat!

    I remember seeing him the 70's when my parents "dragged" me to his shows during the summer outdoor events. I am thankful they did as watching this has borought back many memories of his great music. I now play it here for friends in my bar and enjoy having the young folks appreciate it n this day. Just takes a few songs and they are hooked to the greatness of this type music and what it meant to America at the time.

    I tuned into this video particularly to see if Wes Montgomery showed up in it. He does. Who in 1949 would have imagined the young man playing guitar in Hampton's orchestra would go on to become the world's finest and most original jazz guitarist?

      Edie Lang and Charlie Christian and Grant Green are jazz guitarist that have been written out of history! Wes gained popularity through its style of octaves and a style that has out lasted its usefulness and makes too much jazz guitarists sound just alike!

    Oh, Lord, what a show! I just came here to see young Betty Carter (evidently Hampton fired her 7 times in about 2 years -- she had a mind of her own) but this whole show is incredible and I have only seen some snippets of it so far. Hampton doin a million things, Wes Montgomery, Curly Hamner, Sonny Parker and Betty Carter, and those two tiny kids!!
