"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
Here's Lionel Hampton and his band from 1946, with "Rockin' in Rhythm".
Vibraphone has a great sound and Hampton was tops. I saw Milt Jackson live, playing with MJQ in 1974 at Sydney Town Hall. I felt sorry for him in that tight tuxedo, he didn't look happy, but the playing was superb. MJQ and 'chamber jazz' seemed artificial to me, but still they had some memorable tunes.
