ALL STAR GROUPS & ORCHESTRA

THREE CLASSIC ALBUMS PLUS GENE KRUPA, LIONEL HAMPTON, TEDDY WILSON - LIONEL HAMPTON & HIS GIANTS -

Description:
2 CD set. Three classic Lionel Hampton albums, including original LP liner notes on a finely re mastered and low priced double CD. 'Lionel Hampton and his Jazz Giants', and for the first time on CD 'Apollo Hall Concert 1954' and 'Krupa, Hampton & Wilson' playing some of the selections they played in the Benny Goodman Movie. When we talk about super groups perhaps naturally we think of the rock world in the 1970's and bands like Cream, Blind Faith and Crosby Stills & Nash. But if we turn our attention to the jazz world and look back a little further to the 1950's we will find all manner of musical super group collections coming together for sessions, before departing for other musical adventures. Our trio of Lionel Hampton original albums reveal such a collection of jazz super stars coming together to create great memorable music. Take a look at this line up for our first release Harry Edison, Art Tatum, Red Callender, Buddy Rich and Barney Kessel! Following a wonderful 1954 live concert at the Apollo Hall in Amsterdam with the Hampton orchestra we meet another fine super group Krupa, Hampton & Wilson may not sound as cool as Crosby Stills & Nash but just check out the music these guys played and you will be left in no doubt just who the real super group is.
