Genre

Jazz

Lionel Hampton was one of the first major artists to use the vibraphone as a solo instrument, setting the standard for others to follow. He first gained popularity as a member of the famous Benny Goodman quartet of the late-1930s swing era. Hamp's dynamic performances often featured him playing both vibes and drums, as well as dancing in his lively style. A tireless performer, Hampton could still keep audiences enthralled well past his 90th birthday.

Lionel Hampton has also released music as a member of Lionel Hampton and His Orchestra, Lionel Hampton Quintet, Lionel Hampton and His Sextet, Lionel Hampton & His Just Jazz All Stars, Lionel Hampton and His All Stars, Lionel Hampton and His Giants, Lionel Hampton and His Big Band, Benny Goodman Quartet, Louis Armstrong & His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra, and Benny Goodman Sextet.
