From the Times.

N E W Y O R K, Aug. 31 — Lionel Hampton, the vibraphone virtuoso and standout showman whose six-decade career ranked him among the greatest names in jazz history, died Saturday. He was 94.

Shame that the great musicians are the hardest part of the system and the music to replace.

I am very pleased that Lionel Hampton got the coverage that he did. His energy and love for his craft is what playing music is all about. Another piece of jazz history is added to the huge list great performers.
