Lionel Hampton is one of the legendary figures of the jazz world. For most of his career he has led his own bands, although for a while he did play with Benny Goodman. His main instrument is the vibraharp, but there is always a second drum kit on stage for him to perform on, and he also plays the piano and sings. In conversation with Roy Plomley this versatile musician talks about his long career and chooses his eight records.

'What In the world can I do to secure an income?' thought Osborne, 'Poor Aimee must have money. Yet what would my father say if he knew I'd married a Frenchwoman? In his present mood he'd disinherit me; and he'd speak about her in a way I couldn't stand. A Roman Catholic too!
