The title speaks for itself! If you are a veteren to jazz you won't be disappointed. If you are new to jazz this is the place to start for a sweet taste of Hampton's classical vibe, latin jazz with Tito Puente (Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing), vocals by the legendary Chaka Khan (Gossamer Wings) and the traditional sounds of Diane Reeves (Take the "A" Train). I never get tired of this album. I brought it over 10 years ago, lost it, and found it again here on itunes. All the elements of great jazz are on this album!

Hamp started out as a drummer, playing with the Chicago Defender Newsboys' Band as a youth. His original idol was Jimmy Bertrand, a '20s drummer who occasionally played xylophone. Hampton played on the West Coast with such groups as Curtis Mosby's Blue Blowers,...
