About

Lionel Hampton was selling out arenas well into his autumn years. The godfather of big band jazz and true pioneer of the vibraphone had built up such a reputation in his eight-decade career that audiences around the world turned out to hear the icon unspool his legendary repertoire. Here, like in many of his later concerts, he stands in front of an orchestra (the St. Petersburg State Orchestra) on the vibraphone – an instrument he revolutionized in jazz, utilizing his drummer's dexterity on the mallets, and turning it into a solo instrument. There is a part later in the show where he jumps on the kit in tribute to his roots.
