Are you sure about the 1955 recording date? Looks like more from the August 4, 1947 concert?

Re: Lionel Hampton on GNP Crescendo

 

Yes you're right. The liner notes from Gene Norman are dated 1955.

The inlay in japanese language shows 1947/08/04

Thanks for the correction

Clearing my parent’s house this summer, I found this with a sticker on which my Dad had written, ‘first record I bought, give to Anthony.’

 I also discovered a Max Roach Drum Quintet 78 originally on Debut records (Esquire edition) with Hank Mobley. Just one of those things. Looking forward to playing this.

That "Stardust" solo appears to have caused a bit of a stir back in the day. My high school band director had that 10", and I've seen your 12" on both LP and CD for decades.

Hamp was a gas!

My boss gave me a $100 gift card for Christmas, so I splurged and bought three Bobby Hutcherson LPs -- Happenings, Oblique, and Medina -- even though I already have these albums on CD. 

Now spinning:

This is the first Tone Poet I've ever heard, and -- I've gotta admit -- the AQ is remarkable.

Of course, the music is stupendous.  But I knew that already.

That was the first Tone Poet I bought and yes it sounds amazing. It was for me also the album that made me decide I had to own every Hutch on Blue Note.

I have no difficulty whatsoever understanding that sentiment.   Over the years, I've collected (nearly) everything that Hutcherson ever recorded -- both as a leader and sideman -- across his entire career.  

For me, Medina was the first Hutcherson album that blew my mind & made me want to hear all of his music.  

And it just so happens that I'm now listening to . . .  Medina.   

[HutchFan]

And now on to Happenings, which is my favorite Bobby Hutcherson album (on most days):
