Description by OLDIES.com:

Lionel Hampton may not have been the first person to play the vibraphone, but he is widely acknowledged as the first to utilize it as a jazz instrument. Hampton, the "King of the Vibes" and one of the best-loved bandleaders of the swing era, lends his special magic to some of his most-memorable charts in rare, archival performances.

Fourteen songs including "Ding Dong Baby," "Vibe Boogie," "Bongo Interlude," and "Slide, Hamp, Slide."

Product Description:

Known for his exquisite vibraphone playing, Lionel Hampton managed to revolutionize the use of the instrument by weaving it into his music in a fashion that had never previously been attempted. His initial fame came as part of Benny Goodman's exuberant bunch of jazzmen, who were assembled during the swing era. So it's appropriate that this release is titled SWINGING AT HIS BEST, as that's exactly what Hampton does on this fine display of his talents.
