Lionel Hampton - Flying Home

Lionel Leo Hampton (April 20, 1908 – August 31, 2002), was a bandleader, jazz percussionist and vibraphone virtuoso. Hampton was born in Louisville, Kentucky. “Hamp” ranks among the greatest names in jazz history and worked with a who’s who of jazz musicians, from Benny Goodman to Charlie Parker to Quincy Jones. His stuff is really good and I enjoy it a lot especially since there's not many vibraphonists around playing that funky instrument. This is supposed to be Flying Home album but the tracklist is way different from what is shown in Discogs so I'm not really sure this or that is the real album. Anyway, there's a lot of songs along with two bonus songs so enjoy!
