RIP Lionel Hampton

Jazz great Lionel Hampton has died. He was 94. And he WILL be missed. (time to pull out my recording of the Goodman Carnegie Hall concert out)

:frowning:

Guess he’s flying home now.

God bless him.

I like the music of Hampton and Milt Jackson. Both great vibraphonists. Now both gone. :frowning: But their music will play on. :cool:

I heard this on the radio this morning.

Damn. One of my father’s favorites, and one of mine, too. That man could play the vibes, Lord-Lord. Thank God for recordings.

He was an accomplished drummer, too. A natural musician if ever there was one. He’ll be missed.
