I got to see Hampton perform once, in the very Culver City mentioned in the article (Helms Jazz Bakery). A wonderful man. And, as you noted, Jackie Robinson was a Republican, very pro-free enterprise. Even though he has been adopted by liberals as a saint, they will never tell you that Robinson publicly denounced Muhammad Ali for his anti-Vietnam stance and position on the military.

I did not know that about Jackie Robinson, thanks for your post.
