Owing to a number of circumstances, there will be no new Jazz For A Saturday Night tonight. However, there is no need for you to go away empty-handed!
A little over three years ago, on January 28, 2012, I wrote about one of my favorite albums of all time.
Why not take a few minutes and become re-acquainted with this little-known classic from Lionel Hampton? I guarantee, you won’t be sorry!
Jazz For A Saturday Night #24: Lionel Hampton & His Band
