Gladys Hampton Quartet


DMP

Recommended Posts

What makes you think so?

Just spun the 78:
Four Squares Only is a feature for Herbie Fields - a sort of slightly modernized Benny Goodman combo soud
Star Time is a somewhat boogieish feature for Dodo Marmarosa

Dieter Salemann says in his "Flight of the Vout Bug" book that there is no guitar (Billy Mackel according to the label) audible on the recording, and that the drummer is possibly George Jenkins who at that time was with Lionel Hampton.

Nominal leader because it was on her/Lionel's own Hamp-Tone record label.

A bit like (though with less merits than, probably) Timme Rosenkrantz & His Barrelhouse Barons or Rudy Blesh's All Stars.

But thats a far cry from Jackie Gleason. Style-wise and OTOH because Gleason can be credited with putting a bit of his arrangements' touch in those "Jacke Gleason Presents" LPs.
