The age of cool jazz and Lionel Hampton

Those of us of a certain age can recall when Lionel Hampton and his vibes were featured on many of the variety shows on television in the 1960s and 1970s; and there were many.

I don't know why I thought of him today, but I really enjoyed his music.  It was different and -- well, really cool.

I have seen and handled many, many musical instruments over the years, but I have never seen a set of vibes up close.

I also seem to recall, and it may be a faulty memory, seeing Lionel Hampton play with two beaters in each hand.

Perhaps just the musings of an old galoot, but good music.
