HAMP'S BIG BAND

Description:
Includes rare bonus tracks and a 16 page booklet with detailed information Hampton's talent didn't diminish with the passing of the years. The outstanding album presented here showcases his breathtaking skills during the early days of Stereophonic recordings. Titled Hamp's Big Band, the LP contains a big band session in which the master can be heard alternating between vibes, piano and drums. He even sings on some tracks! Although the track "Blue Lou" listed incorrectly on the original back cover as "Blue You" was recorded during the Hamp's Big Band sessions, it didn't appear on the original LP configuration despite being mentioned in the album's original liner notes. Instead, the song was only originally issued on a Playboy magazine compilation album. It is included on this edition with the rest of the music produced that day, all of which is issued here on CD for the first time ever. As a bonus, this release contains a complete session from the Silver Vibes album, which features such important modern jazz musicians as pianist Tommy Flanagan, trombonist Eddie Bert, and drummer Osie Johnson. One of these tunes, "Beulah's Boogie" wasn't present on the original Silver Vibes album, and was only previously issued on a compilation album titled World of Swing. The remaining two sessions from Silver Vibes are included on Lone Hill 10312, Lionel …Plays Drums, Vibes, Piano. The other early stereo effort by Lionel Hampton, these sessions boast an impressive sextet under the steady leadership of Hampton.
