This CD compiles for the first time all the tracks recordedby this Lionel Hamptons All-Star group in 1956. Originally produced by JazztoneRecords, most of them appeared on a 12" LP (JZ-1238); the rest werereleased on a 10" (J-1040), and on a 7" EP (J-723). You will not onlyhear Hampton lead this group with his extraordinary dynamism and energy as aleader, and his phenomenal improvisational capacity as an instrumentalist (vibes,piano, marimba), but also shines in his role as a jazz composer of greatfeeling.

Hampton is surrounded here by some established jazz masterssuch as tenor saxophonist Lucky Thompson, bassist Oscar Pettiford, trombonistJimmy Cleveland, drummer Gus Johnson, and by two then-newcomers to the scene:pianist Oscar Dennard, and trumpeter Ray Copeland. The music is full ofrhythmic and blowing excitement thanks to the talents of the jazzmen involved,and comes close to stomping in several places.
