This compilation of tracks from Lionel Hampton’s sessions with other greats, like Gerry Mulligan, Dexter Gordon, Woody Shaw, Charles Mingus, and Teddy Wilson, is a solid introduction to the genius of Hamp’s virtuosity and flexibility, maintaining his swing style even with bebop players. Great solo work fills this sweet album.

Grade: B.
