It would be a mistake to relegate Lionel Hampton to the past. By continually surrounding himself with younger musicians, this hip octogenarian refuses to be labelled a relic. These sessions, recorded almost 60 years after Hamp's debut on records, are a perfect case in point. His stellar accompanists provide a fascinating contemporary backdrop for Hampton's everstimulating solo flights.
