Our Take

LIONEL HAMPTON Vol 3 is a swinging sensation that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers from the very first note. This album is a masterclass in jazz, with Hampton's virtuosic vibraphone playing taking center stage and stealing the show.

From the opening track "Flyin' Home" to the closing notes of "Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop", Hampton leads his band through a musical journey that is at once nostalgic and fresh. The arrangements are tight, the solos are scorching, and the energy is infectious.

Hampton's legendary sense of rhythm drives each track forward, while his bandmates provide the perfect backdrop with their impeccable playing. Standout moments include the blazing call-and-response between Hampton and saxophonist Buddy DeFranco on "Air Mail Special" and the Latin-tinged groove of "Hamp's Got A Duke".

But it's not all high-energy bangers on this album. Tracks like "Midnight Sun" and "Crazy Rhythm" showcase Hampton's sensitive side, with his vibraphone shimmering like moonlight on a calm sea.

Overall, LIONEL HAMPTON Vol 3 is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. It's a timeless collection of music that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes and wishing you were swinging in a smokey club in the heyday of jazz. Don't miss out on this gem of an album, you won't be disappointed.
