Synopsis

Lionel Hampton's post-World War II big band was a popular attraction but also served as an incubator for future bop stars like bassist Charles Mingus, pianist Milt Buckner, and saxophonists Arnett Cobb and Johnny Griffin. This material, from 1946-'47, includes the forward-looking "Mingus Fingers" among a red-hot set that features such barn-burners as "Rockin' in Rhythm," "Airmail Special," "Cobb's Idea," and "Red Top." Hampton himself is a dervish on the vibraphones, an instrument he almost single-handedly created as a jazz voice. His performance on "How High the Moon" is worth the price of admission alone. --John Swenson
