Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fueled by the immense, percussive energy of the legendary vibraphonist, this quintet session bridges the rhythmic drive of swing with the aggressive solos of early hard bop. Lionel Hampton's lightning-fast mallet work interacts brilliantly with an all-star supporting cast, creating a deeply swinging, blues-oriented atmosphere. The record perfectly captures his unparalleled exuberance in a small-group setting.
