Luck/Joanne,/Lionel/Hampton". Sepia, 8x10 overall, image 7½x8¾ (one

vibraphone, used by NBC radio to announce intermissions. Their 1930

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). Lightly creased, else fine
condition.
