Lionel Hampton All Stars / Stardust 

I wish young musicians today would be exposed to this kind of music more often. These were the greatest musicians of all time, no electronic enhancement, pure musicianship. I am 72 years old and was introduced to these sounds at an early age. I can listen to this 24-7-365.

One of my all time favorites..... My father, who was born in 1919, put me on when I was 3.... Such memories....beautiful genius music.

My mother turned me on to this years ago. She passed 7 months ago but I thank her for the gift of music.

まだ小さな子供の頃に、 酔っ払って大音量でステレオを鳴らす父の横に座らされ 聴いたテイクがコレでありました。赤子の私がこのジャケを持っ(持たされ)た白黒写真を母が今でも大切にして父の遺影の横に並んだ写真立てに入れております。確か中身の バイナルは赤いカラーバイナルだったのを覚えています。 思わず長文を書いてしまい 申し訳ありません。 そして、感謝です。 ありがとうございました😂

Charlie Shavers 'solo is one of the greatest trumpet solo ever

Anyone listening to this in 2020 (lockdown?) As a little girl growing up my father used to often play this and other great jazz stuff (Benny Goodman/Django etc, etc) and I'd be rolling my eyes because it wasn't Led Zeppelin or Rush. How I wish he were still around today so I could listen to it with him and I could let him know how much of a great influence he had on my music listening habits today without even knowing it. An awesome performance.

One of the greatest melodies ever formed - it is transcendental. Each version, instrumental or vocal, has it's own merit, simply because of the amazing composition.

My Dad played this recording at Christmas time every year. As a trained musician, I remember every note. He told me how the drummer had to rim shot to snap Lionel Hampton out of his solo trance. I love you and miss you Daddy. Today is my 69th birthday !!! 💕😃👍

スイングジャズの結晶ともいうべき演奏でハンプトンのソロ出だし１小節目４音から続く信じられないサウンドの波のようなアドリブはもう神がかり！よくこの演奏録音してくれたこのとに感謝！

It was in Germany in 1965; Augsburg Germany, by accident in the early afternoon one Sunday, that we picked this up just before it began on the Armed Forces Radio Station. It was about three of us. We "understood" who we were hearing - But we didn't expect what we got...........It's been the "Anthem" of my jazz listening days. You guys (and gals) we all should meet up in a stadium, just because of something like this - We are in a special world as we listen. Blessings!

Slam plays such a great chorus here. Hamp is just unbelievable!

That album was played in my home when I was a kid and loved it. I still have the original that my Mom purchased and it is priceless. Mr. Hampton and his All Stars were geniuses!!

ずっと探していたハンプトンのスターダスト感涙の涙で聴いています。 このアルバムのライヴが有れば。もう最高ですよね！　ありがとうございます。

I have about 45-50 different versions of Stardust in my collection and this is by far my favorite instrumental version. One of the greatest jazz recordings ever, every soloist is amazing, including what must be the greatest vibraphone solo ever. I love the thing Slam Stewart does with the humming/ bass playing. Major Holley did the same thing a decade or so later, and Barney Kessel's solo is just so crisp and clear, shame he isn't better remembered today.

I have heard this song since I was 7 years old. It's so great that no more word is needed

One of the greatest 15 minutes of music ever recorded.

Thank you so much My all-time forever favourite 16 minutes of Jazz...

Hampton makes just an incredible entrance ... and the rest is simply fabulous ... 9:49

1948 recording. Personnels : Willir Smith (as) Barney Kessel (g) Tommy Todd (p) Slam Stewart (b) Lee Young (d) Lionel Hampton (v). Beautiful, just so beautiful.

One of the giants!

Depuis 65 ans j' écoute avec la même émotion ce que je considère le meilleurs disque de jazz tous styles confondus

I learned from my dad instruments, players, music, beats and Jazz baby..My all-time, forever favourite..

For Dale Morris - I have the original album Since 1966 - Stardust was made in Presidio California in 1947 Every comment made on this here is actually coming from the "Heaven" of music. It's a joy to have lived and be able to hear this. Bless you all.

I'm 85 listening to this masterpiece since high school. Years later I asked Barney Kessel about this recording. He didn't seem to remember it ? Magical.

What a musical masterpiece...to scat with a upright bass is what got me 👏🏽👏🏽

I had the honour to see him live in Wiesbaden back in 1985 and I even managed to get to talk to him backstage. What memories!

every time I play this it sends goose bumps all over me ITS SUPERB

My fav Hamp track.What virtuosity. Willie Smith love the Alto horn tone and phrasing just as much as Johnnie Hodges. If only he was recorded more.If only Mr Armstrong was recorded with Mr Beiderbecke.My Dad said they did jam together but it wasn't recorded in the late twenties in St Louis.

Superb ! Definitely my favorite jazz track of all time. This probably was the first piece of music I would have heard as a new born. My dad played his mono and stereo versions all the time. Dad, brother and I would listen to this track well into the night again and again and again :-). I still do so and use this track to introduce folks to Jazz. Very often I see jaws drop. This is definitely a one off where every musician was in his element. 15.22 minutes of heaven on earth !

I remember this album with fond memories of my daddy playing it on Saturday mornings, and I loved listening to it. I was only about 13 or 14 years old at the time, definitely into rock and roll and R&B, but somehow I knew I was listening to pure, master musicianship which would mesmerize true jazz lovers and aficionados until the end of time. Even now, it brings chills to my body and tears to my eyes.

My father used to play this record all the time. Thanks for sharing.

When I was younger man I was only interested in the music of my own time. As I get older I realize that other generations made stuff that is truly 'classic ,' that they made something that the passage of time does not diminish , and in some cases enhances its worthiness. This is such a piece. Great art is great art.

One of the best all of the elements of the era

La meilleure version de Stardust ,inoubliable

This is an all time great standard. Lionel is a legend. His music was in an area where the big jazz bands were appreciated. I had the opportunity of knowing Lionel Hampton when I was a young singer. He heard me sing. Several months later he left a message.for me to contact him to join his band. I was honored he wanted me to sing in his band, however I could not because soon after that I married.

La meilleure version de Stardust et un des meilleurs disques de Jazz jamais enregistrés tous Styles confondus

Thanks for posting all songs from the LP !

PURE POETRY❣️💓

THIS IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES

Thanks for posting this- Stardust is my favorite number - listen to the Nat King Cole version -mindblowing and very emotional. This is a superb rendition by Hampton and his boys.

My Grandpas Favorite song. Rip Big Guy

足踏みもハンプトンにとっては楽器の一部ですね。 後半のアドリブソロは圧巻ですね。臨場感が凄いです。

Since the first note to the last one, this record made me completely crazy !!

“ Music soothes the soul of the savage beast” - William Congreve

Hamp's solo on this is incredibly good

ウーンたまあんなぁー！レジェンドたちがケレン味たっぷりに！スラム・スチュワート。ベースをアルコとハミングでハモルのは秀逸。極め付きは４倍速？のりのりの御大！このCD持ってるけど、最後まで聴いてしまった！

La dolcezza di queste note sono adatte per un buon risveglio la mattina: aprono la sintonia positiva della giornata. Ti fa amare il mondo.

What a beautiful rendition.....

A record for the Eternity

Crying ,wonderful music ....

My Jazz inspiration.

Le plus extraordinaire morceau de jazz que je connaisse. C'est en l'écoutant qu'adolescent je suis venu au jazz il y a... 55 ans ! La musicalité, la liberté, la joie de jouer des musiciens, l'originalité de chaque solo sont fantastiques. J'aurais aimé assister à ce concert. Jean

ホギー・カーマイケル作曲でしたかね、最もアメリカらしい曲。普通演奏は３分でしょう？でもハンプトン、サックスからピアノ、ビター、途中ヴォーカルが入るバージョンがあるも、最後は御自身のビブラフォン。サッチモに”ピアノはオスカー・ピーターソンが居るからお前はビブラフォンをやれ！”と。過去に博多のライブで会いました。”何歳ですか？”と聞くと”シックスティーン”（１６歳）と言ってニヤッと。私、ハンプトン・シペシャルと自称しています。最高！

極めつけ🎶ハンプトンの傑作アルバム😁👌👌

アップ、ありがとうございます。ライブでこの音質がビックリですよね。パソコンでもアナログの良さが伝わります。街中で不意に「スターダスト」のメロディが流れたりテレビドラマや映画のＢＧＭで流れたりすると、一瞬にしてこの演奏が頭の中に流れます。・・・で、重箱の隅を突きますが、1947年は20世紀ですよ。

Ogni volta che lo sento, assieme a the man i love, mi commuovo, ricordando la mia gioventù (ora 91 anni). Indimenticabile ed irripetibile. Stefano Pittaluga- Cagliari

Smooth and glorious.

Beautiful Melody and magnificed performance ❤❤❤❤

SUPER EXTRAORDINARIO ,IMPRESIONANTES MÚSICOS .-.-.-.-.--

Hamp does a great job comping behind the soloists along with Tommy Todd on piano and Barney Kesssel without getting in each other's way.

pure 15.22 minutes of heaven xxxxxxx

I have this one on vinyl. Awesome and thanks Jack for giving it to me.

Sans doute un des meilleur disque de Jazz de tous les temps !!!! deja mon Papa l' ecoutai dans les Annee 1945! J'ai suivit ,et c' est toujours le meme enchantement en 2024! ❤❤

Slam at 6:06

This is one of my all time favorites when I want close my eyes and wish I could have my horn sound like willie smith he is among my faverite alto sax players...Roger, WoonsocketR.I.

GRANDIOSO!!! Mi favorito!

GOAT IN JAZZ MUSIC.. PERIOD !!!

僕が15歳の時JAZZにハマるきっかけになった曲

Fantastic!!!

Una maravilla Lionel Hampton....!!!!

This is still my favorite version. I also have the original 10" LP. I don't recall the date but it was probably 1950.

My Uncle Jim R.I.P.!!

In my view the greatest song Hoagy Carmichael wrote. Thank you so much from Amsterdam.

最高です、スタンダードがいいですね。

UNA JOYA ,INIGUALABLE ,ETERNAMENTE HERMOSA .-.-

intramontabile sound, meraviglia assoluta.....incanto

このレコード盤は自分も持っている。もう、何十回聴いたかわからないくらいだ。スターダストは多くの奏者演奏しているが、このライオネルハンプトンの流れを聴くと、まるで宇宙を駆け巡っているような気分にひたれる。

If anyone asks you for a definition of jazz you could do a lot worse than play them this track. The sound is surprisingly good on this youtube transcription. Be sure to stay with it till the end.

いい時代になったのですね！こんな名演が気軽にRU-vidで聴けること！音質も遜色ない。でも僕は、レコードでこの名演をビニールに針を落として真空管アンプでJBL もしくはTannoyで聴きます。その行為が◯。RU-vidをBluetooth経由でシステムで視聴しましたが遜色ない😂

great stuff

Can't imagine Hoagey Carmichael envisioned this interpretation. Awesome.

これはライブだったんですね！ピアノと違って一度に叩ける音が限られ小刻み音が出してにくい楽器とはとても思えない技ですね！丸で１０本の指で叩いているような速さだなあ！しかも心底楽しんでいるのが伝わってくる。

In my opinion, Stardust is the greatest pop song ever written, and of the 40+ versions I have, this is by far the greatest instrumental one, with Jon Hendrix's "vocalese" take on the classic Louis Armstrong version a close second as my favorite vocal version.

Awesome, AWESOME, awesome

I love Hampton's laugh at about 10:30!!

I love how Mr Hampton would giggle after playing a line, as if it were an inside joke between him and the rest of the band.

Extraordinario registro. Mi tía Inés (oreja privilegiada de mi familia, en la que había una parva de orejas privilegiadas) me recomendó esta versión hace (quizás) cincuenta y pico de años y tenía toda la razón. El solo de Hampton es un milagro de esos que nos suele dar el jazz. Vaya desde aquí mi ferviente homenaje a mi tía Inés. By the way, la cita que hace LH de Pretty Baby al comienzo de su solo es sin duda un gesto hacia Charlie Christian, que cada vez que tocaba Stardust recordaba ese fragmento.

opening by Willie Smith is also incredible

1947年は20世紀ですけど。。。なぜ誰も突っ込まない?

Good!!

大学の時ジャズのリクエスト番組で油井正一さんが紹介してくれたのがきっかけ。もうとりこになってしまった。

酔いしれました💕

GASSHÓ 🙏🙏🙏

Chugging tempo, as I understand it should be. One of the top Jazz recordings, up there with Can't Get Started 1937

20世紀の半ばですね。

I have a DUAL For vinyl also. The top.

This was recorded in the middle of 20th.century not 19th.

大阪空襲の瓦礫のなかで この音楽が流れていたそうだ。 コッポラの映画みたいな話しだ。
