I heard it as a head in a Lionel Hampton tune from long before harp was
amplified. Junior and Walter and probably Snooky and a few others grabbed
that riff and used it for harp. That's totally cool, and Juke is a stone
classic. Noting the organic way blues and jazz have developed this is an
uncontroversial issue, for me anyway."


I agree that this is an uncontroversial issue. It would, however be interesting to hear the "original" version by Lionel Hampton. If it was long before harp was amplified, must be 30s - early 40s?
