Review:
In 1971, Lionel Hampton still had it, especially when he played Europe. Things were a little more in the Las Vegas showtime mode by then, but he had the players to make all that strutting seem appropriate. On this Paris date, Hampton's band included no less than organist and pianist Milt Buckner and tenor men Illinois Jacquet and Chuck McLendon, as well as Tommy Gambino on alto with six others. Hampton's own form is solid. He never wavered on the vibes even in his latest days; they seemed to be an extension of who he was as a person. The program here is all swinging blues that range from chestnuts like "Sunny Side of the Street"; Benny Goodman's "Air Mail Special"; "Ghost of a Chance"; Jacquet's steaming "Robin's Nest"; and, of course, "Big Joe," among others. The playing is flawless, the inspiration is in the delight of delivering this classic music to an appreciative audience, and the showmanship was spectacular, despite its familiarity. This may not be the most necessary live Hampton date, or his greatest band, but it is a worthy disc for fans to own.
