LIONEL HAMPTON

LIONEL …PLAYS DRUMS, VIBES, PIANO
Description:
Includes rare bonus tracks and a 12 page booklet with detailed information. The outstanding album presented here showcases Hampton’s breathtaking talents during the early days of Stereophonic recordings. The sextet session, Lionel, features Hamp alternating between vibes, piano and drums he began his career as a drummer and recorded his first vibraphone solo during the 1930 Louis Armstrong version of "Memories of You". His approach to the piano was highly particular, as he usually played it with only one or two fingers per hand as if he were performing on the vibes. His amazing technique on the instrument can be seen on many of his filmed performances. As a bonus, we offer two complete sessions from the Silver Vibes album, which features such important modern jazz musicians as pianist Tommy Flanagan and drummers Osie Johnson and Elvin Jones, who plays on the two tunes from the second session. One of these tunes, "I Can't Get Started" wasn’t present on the original Silver Vibes album, and was only previously issued on a compilation LP it appears here on CD for the first time ever. The remaining session from Silver Vibes is included on our companion volume Hamp’s Big Band LHJ 10318. The other early Stereo effort by Lionel Hampton, this session features the master backed by his big band featuring trumpeters Cat Anderson and Donald Byrd.
