Search - Lionel Hampton :: Lionel Plays Drums Vibes Piano

2008 release, one of the first stereo albums ever recorded by the Lionel Hampton Orchestra featuring bonus tracks. 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. 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 Cant' Get Started' wasn't present on the original Silver Vibes album, and was only previously issued on a compilation LP. 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. Lonehill Jazz.
