  13. September in the Rain

    I’ve been seeing the phrase vibe coding bandied about quite a lot these days and it always makes me think of Lionel Hampton. Since it’s now September and it’s raining outside, today it made me think of this recording of Lionel Hampton playing September in the Rain. How’s that for a link?

    This track was recorded in Paris in 1953, an LP of which was released in 1956. I have a later issue of it. It features members of Hamp’s band, which was ona European tour at the time, alongside a number of local musicians. For a long time it puzzled me that among the musicians present was clarinettist Mezz Mezzrow whose style didn’t seem to fit. Eventually it was explained to me that Mezzy was the man who could be relied upon to supply appropriate smoking materials. This number however is chiefly Hamp on his own, on vibes (naturally), and frequently accompanying himself on vocals (sort of).

  15. La formazione è inusuale per l'assenza del contrabbasso, ma anche perché composta da due musicisti bianchi (Goodman e Krupa) e due neri (Hampton, Wilson), cosa non proprio frequente all'epoca.

  19. Jazztodon artist of the week: Lars Erstrand! Swedish #larserstrand began on piano, but after hearing Lionel Hampton he changed to vibraphone. During the 1960s he joined a band led by clarinetist Ove Lind in the swing style of Benny Goodman. Erstrand also worked in the Swedish Swing Society with Antti Sarpila. He performed with Goodman and other American musicians who passed through Sweden. In 1991 he recorded "Two Generations" with Lionel Hampton.
