Oh my, that's some big compliments right there, thank you. And if by Hampton you meant as in Lionel, then that is indeed a very favourable reference, for I absolutely adored that player!
As for it could "go on and on", then I personally agree, and I had to hold myself back to resist the urge to rack up the soloists. But, as with the minimalistic instrumentation, sometimes less is more..or as you yourself put it:

Yes, Lionel Hampton in the amazing 1938 Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall concert recording that was recorded via a telephone line to a studio. The quality is incredible and when Hampton solos you can hear him making some eh-eh-eh-eh vocals sounds as he plays. That's what Janice was scatting on your song.
