Hampton
Piano Jazz celebrates the centennial of vibraphonist Lionel
Hampton. A historic figure in many ways, "Hamp" is credited with
establishing the vibes as a jazz instrument, being a part of Benny
Goodman's first racially integrated jazz group, and helping to launch
the careers of Quincy Jones, Wes Montgomery, and Clark Terry. In this
program from the archives, Hampton plays classics "Flying Home," and
"Mack the Knife."
