The Vinyl Countdown # 338

Lionel Hampton, Saturday Night Jazz Fever (1978) I took a punt on Lionel Hampton back in the day; bought a double CD comp from a closing down sale for $5-10 and loved it. I didn’t know what I was getting – beyond the fact that it was jazz. Clearly jazz. Then I looked him pup, found out about […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 425

Lionel Richie, Dancing On The Ceiling (1986) Lionel Richie had been a big deal – frontman, main songwriter for the Commodores – and a bunch of solo albums. But this is the album that made him a big, big star, a superstar. I love Lionel. Almost anyone who knows me, or reads me, knows that. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 829

Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra, Chicago Jazz Concert (1984) I own a couple of copies of this – not sure why. Lionel Hampton was a big deal to me though, when I first discovered him (again, not sure how – just a name I found and then when I heard his stuff I loved it). […]
