Tracks list

Garnished with a fistful of alternate takes, the 2007 release of Mosaic's
107-track Complete Lionel Hampton Victor Sessions 1937-1941 is a welcome and
long overdue CD realization of The Complete Lionel Hampton 1937-1941, a six-LP
box set released during the 1970s by the Bluebird label. Only Teddy Wilson came
close to achieving what Hamp did in the late 1930s and early '40s, by bringing
together the greatest soloists on the scene for a staggeringly productive and
inspired series of recordings that essentially defined the state of jazz during
the years immediately preceding the Second World War.

Nearly every musician heard on this collection may be traced to the most
important and influential bands on the scene during the '30s, including groups
operating under the leadership of Duke Ellington, Luis Russell, Louis Armstrong,
Fletcher Henderson, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Earl Hines, Fats
Waller, John Kirby, and Nat King Cole (these last two appear with Hampton as
sidemen). Even a detailed list of the master musicians gathered together by
Lionel Hampton during this five year period would scarcely do justice to the
depth and scope of the music represented here. This set defines swing, and jazz
itself, as few other compilations ever have, can or will. Utterly essential
listening, second to none. The fact that this is a limited edition rather than
required listening in every public school in North America is bittersweet food
for thought.
