Lionel Hampton - King Of The Vibes
Jazz Legend presents the music and the life of the man who virtually invented the vibraphone as a jazz instrument, in an astounding career that spanned 73 years. The programme presents vintage film clips and rare photographs from the 1930s through the 1990s, combined with incisive commentary from contemporary mallet master Mike Mainieri and award winning percussionist Steve Smith. Joining Lionel Hampton throughout this singular musical journey are a number of other jazz legends, including: Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Teddy Wilson, Milt Buckner, Betty Carter and many others.
This inspirational story of deaf and blind Helen Keller and her indomitable teacher Annie Sullivan earned Oscars for Duke and Bancroft in the lead roles and created a heartwarming record of patience and determination over daunting odds.
