Garnished with a fistful of alternate takes, the 2007 release of Mosaics
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.
