Lionel Hampton and his orchestra at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1978 • World of Jazz

Lionel Hampton (1908 -2002) was a jazz vibronist, pianist, drummer and bandleader. In 1930 Louis Armstrong asked Lionel Hampton to play the vibraphone and they created “Memories of you and Shine”. It made Hampton the first jazz vibronist of the world. Hampton was also well-known for his improvisation skills on several other instruments. Some say he was the first one to create rock and roll! It is said that the origin of “Flying Home” was created by Lionel Hampton whilst he was waiting for his first plane flight. He whistled a tune, which he later shared with Benny Goodman. It led to the famous version of “Flying Home” in 1939. Watch more World of Jazz videos ► https://goo.gl/Z28cxv Join us.
