Considering that this program features such songs as "Someday My Prince Will Come," "Take the 'A' Train," "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Gone with the Wind," its title is rather inaccurate; in fact only three of the nine songs are actually blues. In any case, vibraphonist
Lionel Hampton is in fine form as the dominant soloist in a quintet also including pianist
Bobby Scott and guitarist
Joe Beck. Even as he entered his 80s, Hampton still displayed youthful vitality and enthusiasm.
