Small Combos 1937-1940

Album by Lionel Hampton

Small Combos 1937-1940 is a compilation album by American vibraphonist Lionel Hampton that collects small-group recordings from 1937 to 1940. The music is rooted in swing and small-group jazz with prominent vibraphone lines, call-and-response horn passages and blues-influenced phrasing, and it documents Hampton's move from sideman work to leading small ensembles in the late 1930s.
