The record
Cut during Hampton's 1955 European tour, this loose blowing date pairs him with a cross-Atlantic lineup -- Nat Adderley and Benny Bailey alongside French modernists Sacha Distel and René Urtreger. The result is easy, swinging jam-session jazz, EmArcy capturing the vibraphonist stretching out far from his big-band trappings.
