VIDEO OF THE WEEK
LIONEL HAMPTON:
T.V. SPECIAL (1951)
The Snader Telescription T.V. Special with Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra can be a little confusing by title, as it's the name of the boogie number, not some clip from a TV show. Watch for Hamp's two-finger piano solo while the band looks on with rapt expressions. The 2nd pianist is jazz legend Milton Buckner.

In a dungeon laboratory inhabited by sub-humans and fresh corpses, a scientist conducts revolting experiments in an attempt to achieve immortality. His demented patron is an elderly invalid who wants her brain transplanted into a healthy young girl. Three beautiful women are lured to the isolated manor so that the ruthless hag can choose her new body.
The brilliant Thompson, a contemporary of such celebrated and better known RCA mood music magicians like Juan Garcia Esquivel and Henry Mancini, is long overdue for popular and critical re-discovery, and this crucially cool LP is a perfect launching pad for this revival.
