Personnel includes: Stan Getz (tenor saxophone), Lionel Hampton (vibraphone), Lou Levy (piano), Leroy Vinnegar (bass), Shelly Manne (drums).
Recorded in Los Angeles on August 1, 1955. Includes original release liner notes and reissue liner notes by Phil Schaap.
Digitally remastered by Dennis Drake (PolyGram Studios).
If one were to believe the clichés and stereotypes common in some jazz history books, this duo should not have worked. By 1955, Lionel Hampton was a veteran swing vibraphonist while Stan Getz was the leader of the "cool school" of young tenors. But what these two masters had in common (in addition to a healthy respect for each other's talents) was the ability to swing as hard as possible. Joined by a fine trio, the duo really rips into "Cherokee" and "Jumpin' at the Woodside" (listen to their blistering tradeoffs) and, even with a fine ballad medley, it is these torrid jams that make this a highly recommended LP. ~ Scott Yanow
