LIONEL HAMPTON. Signature: "Lionel/Hampton", 5¼x3. "Notes"
imprinted at upper margin. Portion of a biography imprinted on verso. Lionel Leo
Hampton (1908-2002), the first jazz vibraphonist, began his career as a
drummer. Louis Armstrong encouraged him to try the vibraphone, used by
NBC radio to announce intermissions. Their 1930 recording of "Memories of
You" forever associated Hampton with the instrument, although he was also an
accomplished piano player. In 1940, Hampton formed his own band, which became
the first Black band to tour the racially segregated South with a white singer
(1950). Slightly creased. Minor show through of print on verso. Fine
condition.
