Sample of Foreword:

This is the Lionel Hampton I still remember so clearly.
When he hit that stage there was only one thing that mattered
and that was making sure that crowd had the time of their lives.
The band on this DVD is red hot. My old friend Bobby Plater, who 
first introduced me to Gates in 1949, is still blowing hard. 
(Hamp called everybody Gates and everybody called him Gates. 
It was a habit he picked up from Benny Goodman and it was easier than remembering names.) Billy Mackel and Eddie Mullens are still there, as well as a whole new group of hard-honkin’ 
young bucks. 

Hamp was the king of entertainers. He was like a circus master 
in the center of the ring with lions jumping through burning hoops and acrobats balancing on wild horses. This was the greatest show on earth and the Europeans loved it like nobody else on the planet. 
But it wasn’t just a wild show; these cats were musicians of the 
highest order. Hamp only hired the best.

—Quincy Jones
