Ok a dumb question follows...Does anyone happen to know this piece for vibraphone, no idea at all... the main melody is simple, but the backing sounds like a steam locomotive created with drums and vibraphone. It is fast and really rolling on the vibraphone. It is tad like Train Home by Pat Metheny. I know this is lame description but please.
@brabazon10 absolutely he played a cd with chick corea that was modal and without changing his style ripped right through the tunes with no problem. he is responsable for vibes becoming a jazz instrument
@SuperSalisbury1337 Hey, don't give morons like that any attention... that's what they crave. It's a good thing that you enjoy all types of music from different past generations. My vinyl covers just about everything but my "era" was the sixties. Your generation (I asume 20-30 age group) has contributed some excellent music in my opinion. Keep doing what you like, of course, but don't forget to capitalize those proper nouns LOL.
That solo by Illinois Jaquet was so great that Hamp went back and learned it so he could play it on vibes. It's practically a prerequisite for young sax players
Lionel Hampton is the greatest xylophonist (later termed vibraharpist and vibraphonist) that ever played the instrument, and my second goes to Milt Jackson...This is a very good rendition of "Flying Home" at the age of 49 on national television, but check out the Lionel Hampton Orchestra in the 1940's...Man, that cat could vibe...
Hamp's ''Flyin' Home'' had made some reefer-smoking Negro in the second balcony believe he could fly, so he tried-and jumped-and broke his leg, an event later immortalized in song when Earl Hines wrote a hit single tune called ''Second Balcony Jump.''(p.77) - The autobiography of Malcolm X.
@SuperSalisbury1337 this brother knows whats going on, open your ears to all music, i really dig your view man, keep thinking like that and keep exploring music!
Adoro a música de Lionel Hampton. Gary Burton deve ter sido inspirado por ele. Quem gosta de jazz, tem que ouvir Hampton e seu swing. Grandes músicos, grande líder, essa receita é infalível. Com certeza na banda todos são geniais.
does anyone have his track called ''fun''(album ''70's jazz, soul and funk rarities from the old school''),and if so,could anyone upload it,please?:) thank you.
This was originally recorded in 1942 and music historians have stated that this is one of the first rock 'n' roll records. Great stuff fun to see the drummer and bass player in the groove.
@JazzyFunkaHolic haha, well I love the vibes and especially when its played along with bass... and if I can find a really dope vibe player that put out some vinyl in the 70s, it would be a nice addition... havent been able to find much in the record stores where I live... ya dig?
@KickBack90sBeats He toured lot in the 70s. I saw his band several times including when he did a concert my junior year (1979) at my alma mater, Hampton University.
@Stugazza no prob, bro. jazz is graet music, in fact the graetest homo sexuel music ever mate!!!!!! Can you sent your adrees? I would like to meat you with my BIG Burbuzela!
@Stugazza could it be that your non-humourous, my dahling? jazz originated from gay peoples, is the music of gay peoples, and since you are here all the time discusing the subject, your obviosly as gay as a homo sexuel rabbit -- or why do you write like someone who has something VERY BIG up his rectum?
@Lance733nk I think you may just be right. &e was with the band through 57, but didn't he go to Brubeck's quartet around 58? I may be a bit off, but I thought I remembered him with the quartet at carnegy. Thanks.
Too hot. Still trying to figure out who the guitarist is, as well as that fantastic bass player. That man can slap! As has been said, the whole band is hot. Excuse me, I'm going to watch this cut again...
Can anyone doubt now what a state of cultural and musical degeneration we're now in? FlaSoxxJimm is correct. Words will not do justice for Lionel Hampton. What an inspiring performance to his signature number.
I am LOVING the guitarist vamping in the background. who is he? anyone know. He's got this warm, front pickup, tube distortion thing going that is just out of sight!!!!
@atomic6120 The guitarist is Billy Mackel, I love his playing on Hamp's stuff - he knew how to vamp a two or three string riff in the background like a mini horn section when the horns weren't playing just to keep things cooking. Great player!
yeah, actually what you said is racist against black people too. Just because its "a compliment" doesn't mean that you aren't generalizing and stereotyping someone based on race - the definition of racism.
Dammit your such a fag, I'm not being racist if i compliment him, and i have no idea where your at, but last time i checked black people playing vibes is not really a sterotype, over half of the people in the world don't know what the fuck a vibraphone is.
Go suck a dick, it's sad that you can't just enjoy the video
Excellent you're a racist AND a homophobe. Also, let me point out where your logic/ inability to follow a simple line of reason fails. "People playing vibes" is not the stereotype I'm alluding to. The stereotype that black people are inherently good at music is a racist stereotype, and yes even if your stereotype intends a compliment its still racist. Whether or not people around the world play vibraphone is irrelevant. Also, I did enjoy the video until read your comment.
This is getting better and better, i'm thinking your the racist really. Just the way of your tone, you can't stand a black person being better at something you suck at? and fyi being a good musisian isn't a normal sterotype of a black person (besides rapping) that's what i was getting at. And you enjoyed the video up until my comment. okay dumbshit, you don't have read the comments on videos, and 2nd some words don't change the sound or picture of the video. Go fuck ur self fag :)
His comment was indeed racist, but racism is not necessarily negative. In most of the cases it is meant negative, but this is an exception. By saying his comment was racist you are the one who makes him look bad, while his only intention was giving the video and Lionel Hampton a compliment.
I think you are the one to blame ZappaSkiLL6 , not ZachD8.
What school did you go to, and what books have you read that taught you that there is a "good" type of racism? All racism is harmful to the race it stereotypes because it "others" that race. Racism that is meant to be a "compliment" is inherently inaccurate through generalization, but it also makes room for more "negative," (your words, not mine) racism like X-race is lazy, stupid, or only good remarkable because it produces good musicians. READ A BOOK BY BELL HOOKS and this article
I am not going to reply on your last message because it is a most irrelevant message. Now because you are taking everything so literally (see beginning of this argument). I am going to explain to you what racism is. Racism is to distinguish based on race. Now it is true that mostly all times racism is mentioned ( to say all would be intellectually incorrect ) the "negative". ZachD8 meant good with his comment, and there are no negative interpretations to make out of his comment.
correction : 'Now it is true that mostly all times racism is mentioned ( to say all would be intellectually incorrect ) the "negative" form is meant.'
continuation : Can you please tell me why you put such a negative comment to begin with? I can't figure it out.
I'm not talking about ZachD8 when I'm referring to marginalized people you idiot. Don't respond to my posts if you don't understand what or who I'm talking about.
Please don't call me an idiot. That is quite weak of you... I didn't understand your last message if you weren't talking about ZachD8, that's true. But then explain me how your comment answers to my question ( I do not speak English often ). It seems to me you are changing the subject.
Racism is a belief system that most people possess but don't want to evaluate. You're trying to reason with people here who are very unaware of their surroundings and the incredible destructiveness of racism. This music is simply wonderful. It is better to watch the video without looking at the comments below it because they are usually much too disturbing.
James Baldwin, in the 1980s, visited our college and addressed the audience by first saying that he was tired of being viewed as a "black author" and just wanted to be viewed as a writer. He asked the audience to refrain from treating him as something other than a writer. The audience could not hear his request and did exactly what he didn't want them to do. He became despondent. Another example of a person not respecting the genius in front of him: Bryant Gumble's interview of Anita O'Day
@ZappaSkiLL6 Are you really so close minded to say complimenting a black person at music is racist? It's really sad that there are so many Americans that have gone crazy with political correctness and have forgot logic in the process.
I just love the vibraphone and no one could tap it like Lionel Hampton! Deez katz wa swingin man! Ive also heard that Lionel was a highly accomplished drummer as well! What a great and video document!
..because everyone is obseed with being FAKE... "my"space, facebook, "i"-pods.. they are obseesed with their fake avatar persona rather than REAL acheivement and creativity.. as a result we have a nation of posers and dreamers rather than artists and builders... see my channel for more info
Just wish we could see all the kinescopes from this 1957-58 CBS show. Within weeks of Hamp's live "Big Record" appearance, the Kenton band guested with Patti who sang with the band. On the soundrack I have, she sounds very adaptable to big band jazz. Aside from the corn she was forced to sing, Patti could be a swingin' solid sender.
Nice Video and channel If you really want some software for marketing, traffic generation, and many others. Check out the cash factory link in my channel description, I gaurantee you will find some helpful information there.
When I was like 13 yrs old (1983), Disneyland used to have these Disneyland Jazz weekends and I got to sit right underneath Lionel Hampton at the Carnation Plaza. I was only 13 then, but even then I knew I was in the presence of greatness.
this guys rocked so hard... since that times, very few musicians could so such amazing things!

@ZappaSkiLL6 Are you really so close minded to say complimenting a black person at music is racist? It's really sad that there are so many Americans that have gone crazy with political correctness and have forgot logic in the process.

The whole damn band is red hot. Why can't we have TV like this today?
jimeditorial 2 years ago 46
Because everyone wants their reality TV and their soap operas.
Seriously. This stuff is so genius.

..because everyone is obseed with being FAKE... "my"space, facebook, "i"-pods.. they are obseesed with their fake avatar persona rather than REAL acheivement and creativity.. as a result we have a nation of posers and dreamers rather than artists and builders... see my channel for more info

because tv's too easy to do now. you don't have to have quality to be on tv anymore. I wish i was alive back then. Lionel's a beast.

@jimeditorial they do. it's called youtube and you're watching dummy

@jimeditorial I agree. Good thing we have youtube! Just think of a song and find a rare live recording!
If they would just improve the sound a bit, it would be better than any TV.

@jimeditorial Because the american public would rather watch pretty but talentless twits lip synch, than experience true greatness.

No one could swing on the "vibes" like Hamp!! Fast or slow Hamp could do it all.
His 1947 live version of "Stardust" is considered by many to be the greatest jazz recording of all time.

Just wish we could see all the kinescopes from this 1957-58 CBS show. Within weeks of Hamp's live "Big Record" appearance, the Kenton band guested with Patti who sang with the band. On the soundrack I have, she sounds very adaptable to big band jazz. Aside from the corn she was forced to sing, Patti could be a swingin' solid sender.

it's one thing to rock on the vibes, but does anyone physically rock out see (1:19) as much at the Lion?

I'm playing this song on alto for my final HSC piece and it just isn't the same without a vibraphone playing. Lionel Hampton is truly talented.

When I was like 13 yrs old (1983), Disneyland used to have these Disneyland Jazz weekends and I got to sit right underneath Lionel Hampton at the Carnation Plaza. I was only 13 then, but even then I knew I was in the presence of greatness.
