Size: OS

This 1977 session, which combines
Lionel Hampton
and
Gerry Mulligan
with a strong rhythm section (
Hank Jones
,
Bucky Pizzarelli
George Duvivier
Grady Tate
Candido Camero
) seems to be
Mulligan
's date. But
Hampton
ends up the de facto leader, due to the heavy rhythmic (as opposed to melodic) emphasis of the arrangements, even though six of the nine songs recorded at the session were composed by the baritone saxophonist.
's solos are still the centerpiece of each track, even with the formidable presence of
's swinging vibes. It is also a valuable recording since it is an opportunity to hear older
compositions, such as
"Blight of the Fumble Bee,"
" "Line for Lyons"
"Walking Shoes"
in different settings. Also notable is the debut of a new piece by
"Song for Johnny Hodges."
Initially released by
Who's Who in Jazz
, it has reappeared under a number of different titles on labels such as
Cleo
Kingdom Gate
Toledo
Baystate
, and
Jazz Hour
, to name just a few. ~ Ken Dryden
