Hampton, Lionel - You Better Know It!!!

RARE/2HAND VINYL ON IMPULSE 1964.

Impulse A-78 made in USA in gatefold cover with original inner sleeve. Vinyl EX. Cover NM.

Vibist Lionel Hampton's rhythmic abilities haven't been dulled by age, and he displayed his proficiency on this date, which includes the enjoyable bonus track "Moon Over My Annie." There was no wasted energy or unnecessary or exaggerated solos; just bluesy, assertive, muscular arrangements, accompaniment, and ensemble segments. Highlights included "Vibraphone Blues," "Trick or Treat" and "Swingle Jingle," in which Hampton shifted from vibes to piano. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Hampton
