Roaring 1920s: Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders- The Sunrise, 1927

Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders – The Sunrise (Will Bring Another Day for Me) Fox–Trot (Friend) with Vocal Refrain, HMV 1927 (recorded in USA; UK product) NOTE: Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders was an American jazz / dance band, active from the late 1910s through the 1930s. The group was a New York band known simply as The Serenaders until Johnny Hamp became the band leader of it in the mid 1920s, when the guy who directed the band just walked off after some argument with the players. Johnny Hamp was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and should not be confused with a popular British tv producer Johnnie Hamp. Hamp never played a musical instrument in spite of being a jazz fan and had no experience as a conductor (in addition, he only sang whenever the chorus was performed by a vocal ensemble or the whole band). He volunteered to lead the band for the rest of the show, which they had at the Hershey Ballroom, in Hershey, Pennsylvania and he must have done it well, if the band asked him to stay on as leader. After the performance, the "Kentucky" appears in the band’s name, related to the band's use of "My Old Kentucky Home" as a theme song, rather than any connection to the U.S. state of Kentucky. The group made most of its recordings in the NYC Victor studio. Their biggest hit was their sensational performance of the "Black Bottom" recorded in 1926, which led to a worldwide dance fad and in later years became one of the musical icons of the Roaring Twenties. Hamp continued to record for Victor until 1932, then he switched to Melotone, Perfect, Romeo, Oriole and in 1936 he was back with Victor recording for their Bluebird label for only two sessions, which turned out to be their last ones. In one of American Big Bands anthologies, Johnny Hamp has only a few lines referring to Hamp as "a pudgy, nervous, agressive little man". He has been remember as leading a hotel ensemble in Chicago still in the 1950/60s. Johnny Hamp died in the early 1960's.
