Synopsis

Album Description
A 100th birthday celebration of jazz's first and greatest vibraphonist, Lionel Hampton. This collection marks the centenary of Hampton's birth with music drawn from two historic sessions; an all-star mid-career date that focused on his skill as an improvising instrumentalist...and a live performance from Hamp's golden years, revealing the irrepressible, showman spirit that never faded during his years in the spotlight. This project features jazz legends Red Callender, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Al Grey, Milt Hinton, Hank Jones, Barney Kessel, James Moody, Buddy Rich, Buddy Tate, Grady Tate, Art Tatum and Clark Terry, and includes insightful liner notes by noted jazz historian Ashley Kahn.
