Hampton also plays vibes
Deep Purple

Note 1: I’m taking the identification of the Gordon Family on trust, 
from writings in the past.

Note 2: *these are different takes of the same tune

Note 3: Ray Copeland was shown as “Roy Copeland” on one version of the 
12” Guilde du Jazz.

Note 4: Group names on Guilde du Jazz: 12” Le fabuleux Lionel Hampton et 
ses virtuoses; 10” Lionel Hampton et son Equipe; 7” Lionel Hampton et 
ses Vedettes.

Note 5: 10” album title is “du haut d’un Gratte-Ciel (which I assumes 
translates as “high in a Skyscraper). Perhaps this gives a clue to as to 
where it was recorded?

The session was originally issued on 7" Jazztone/Guilde du Jazz J723, 
10" Jazztone/Guilde du Jazz J1040 and 12" Jazztone/Guilde du Jazz J1238.
