Price: $100.00
LIONEL HAMPTON. Inscribed signature: "Best of Luck/and Keep
Swingin'/George/Lionel/Hampton", 4¾x3¼, irregularly cut from a photograph.
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, touching signature and writing. Glue and
paper remnants on verso (no show through). Overall, fine
condition.
