Lionel Hampton • You Better Know It

 

Review
by Ron Wynn
Vibist Lionel Hampton's rhythmic abilities haven't been dulled by age, and he displayed his proficiency on this date, which includes the enjoyable bonus track "Moon Over My Annie." There was no wasted energy or unnecessary or exaggerated solos; just bluesy, assertive, muscular arrangements, accompaniment, and ensemble segments. Highlights included "Vibraphone Blues," "Trick or Treat" and "Swingle Jingle," in which Hampton shifted from vibes to piano.

Reseña
por Ron Wynn
Las habilidades rítmicas del vibrante Lionel Hampton no han sido opacadas por la edad, y mostró su destreza en esta fecha, que incluye el agradable bonus track "Moon Over My Annie". No hubo derroche de energía ni solos innecesarios o exagerados; sólo arreglos, acompañamientos y segmentos de conjunto blueseros, asertivos y musculosos. Destacaron "Vibraphone Blues", "Trick or Treat" y "Swingle Jingle", en la que Hampton pasó del vibráfono al piano.
