Seven Come Eleven Hampton Lionel/Peter Appleyard 1979? Lionel Hampton and Peter Appleyard together in Seven Come Eleven. Peter Appleyard hosted a large number of jazz shows in Toronto in the seventies. I'm certain this must have neen a highlight in all these presentation to have the master of the vibraphone as a guest.
Lionel Hampton (April 20, 1908 -- August 31, 2002), was a bandleader, jazz percussionist and vibraphone virtuoso. Hampton was born in Louisville, Kentucky.
"Hamp" ranks among the greatest names in jaz history and worked with a who's who of jazz musicians, from Benny Goodman to Charlie Parker to Quincy Jones.
Hampton is credited with popularizing the vibraphone as a jazz instrument.
In the mid-30s, the Benny Goodman Orchestra came to Los Angeles to play the Palomar Ballroom. John Hammond brought Goodman to see Hampton play. Goodman asked Hampton to move to New York City and join Goodman, Teddy Wilson, and Gene Krupa---who'd already formed a Benny Goodman Trio within the large band---to expand into the Benny Goodman Quartet. The Trio and Quartet were among the first racially integrated bands to record and play before wide audiences; they were just as well received at Goodman's famous 1938 Carnegie Hall concert as was the full Goodman band.
Hampton's recording of "Flying Home" (1939) with the famous honking tenor sax solo by Jacquet, later refined and expanded by Cobb (1946), is considered by some to be the first rock and roll record. Quincy Jones once stated that Hamp was like a rock and roll musician in that "Hamp would go for the throat every night and the people would freak out".
