I've posted several of these videos. What a great team Terry and Buddy make! They swing so hard. Check out this ballad.
On fire. This is so swinging I'm dying!! Check this out! What a team, Terry and Buddy.
A great video with Terry and Buddy. Check out Terry's solo! Smokin'!!!
Isn't Adrian the real first vibe player? Check this out. I wonder how old it is? And he's playing with 4 mallets and seems to be pretty good at it.
This is a great video!

You have to see this to believe it. Like some strange mutant instrument from Dr. Seuss and Star Wars. This instrument knocked me out!
Here is the second and last part of this tribute to Lionel Hampton dated December 1992.
Now Milt himself, and Gary join the party! The three of them 'under the same roof': wow!
Gary? If you read this, any memory of this moment?
Enjoy!

Vibist Les Blachut posted this link on facebook: in December 1992 a great tribute was made to Lionel Hampton, some 10 years before he left us.
Apart from this tribute (Hankock and Franklin wow!) and the joy of the man round the end of his life, what I enjoyed is this visual biography (I had not seen any before) and the emphasis on those first examples of music at last shared between black and white communities of musicians: cool!
Here's to you Mister Hamp!
