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.
Corky Cantera You are absolutely correct. Music was so pure which is why we reach back to things that we were brought up on, like this. My mother in law loved this.
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 !!! 💕😃👍
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.
You are so right. Elsewhere I've described Stardust as the Beethoven's Ninth of the American songbook and this version, along with Gordon Jenkins's arrangement for Nat King Cole are the supreme interpretations of it.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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
J'avais 14 ans la première fois que j'ai entendu cette version, j'ai du l'écouter des centaines de fois et à chaque fois le même choc... comme un orgasme musical à répétition ;-)
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.
You get it. I was 21 in '71, into the Stones, Cream, Zepplin and then I discovered Hank Williams. There's no expiration date on music. If you haven't, check out Louie Jordan, big influence on Chuck Berry, James Brown and many others.
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 !
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. A Jazz Singer Naomi Clark
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.
Me too, sista! My Papa was an Italian, White, American, New Yorker, born in 1919! I learned about social and racial injustice from him! He is the one that put me on to all the greats! Billie, Dinah, Lionel, Earl Garner... So many more legendary iconic trailblazers!
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.
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.
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
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! ❤❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I am 76 and listend to this fantastic piece of music since I was 16. It must be the best Stardust of all time. Oh my God.
My mother turned me on to this years ago. She passed 7 months ago but I thank her for the gift of music.
Bless you and the memory of your Mom; Great legacy for you to reflect. God Bless! Thanks for sharing.

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！
極めつけ🎶ハンプトンの傑作アルバム😁👌👌

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。
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.
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！

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。

God Bless You! It's that precious - Dad knew what he was doing.
Slam plays such a great chorus here. Hamp is just unbelievable!
Thank you so much
My all-time forever favourite 16 minutes of Jazz...
Listening with my dad who is 92 ...glad he has introduced me to such musical genius as he was graced to grow up with......live on folks!
You have company - Along with "These Foolish Things" by Paul Desmond with Dave Brubeck in Carnegie Hall - Live.
Crying ,wonderful music ....
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。
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！
I have heard this song since I was 7 years old. It's so great that no more word is needed

La meilleure version de Stardust et un des meilleurs disques de Jazz jamais enregistrés
tous Styles confondus
J'avais 14 ans la première fois que j'ai entendu cette version, j'ai du l'écouter des centaines de fois et à chaque fois le même choc... comme un orgasme musical à répétition ;-)
Depuis 65 ans j' écoute avec la même émotion ce que je considère le meilleurs disque de jazz tous styles confondus
Hamp's solo is the most incredible solo in history
La meilleure version de Stardust ,inoubliable
Beautiful Melody and magnificed performance ❤❤❤❤

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!
Smooth and glorious.

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 musical masterpiece...to scat with a upright bass is what got me 👏🏽👏🏽
every time I play this it sends goose bumps all over me ITS SUPERB
THIS IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES
I learned from my dad instruments, players, music, beats and Jazz baby..My all-time, forever favourite..

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。
Thanks for posting all songs from the LP !

SUPER EXTRAORDINARIO ,IMPRESIONANTES MÚSICOS .-.-.-.-.--
My Jazz inspiration.
SP盤の時代にこの録音はすごいですね。
放送録音は既にテープで撮られていたんでしょうね。
ソロイストの多くは知らないプレイヤーですが、皆腕利きのようで聴き応えがあります。
敬遠しがちなこの時代の他の録音も機材が良ければこのくらい楽しめるものが多いのかもしれませんね。
SP盤を知っている人は現在僅かだろうね。大きくて黒い78RPMレコードだね。
僕が15歳の時JAZZにハマるきっかけになった曲
I have this one on vinyl. Awesome and thanks Jack for giving it to me.
I do has well.... From my father who has passed on but lives for me in this music magic....
As....not has....
Hamp's solo on this is incredibly good
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.
Charlie Shavers (tp) Corky Corcoran (ts) Aug 4, 1947
intramontabile sound, meraviglia assoluta.....incanto
Fantastic!!!
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.
UNA JOYA ,INIGUALABLE ,ETERNAMENTE HERMOSA .-.-
In my view the greatest song Hoagy Carmichael wrote. Thank you so much from Amsterdam.

whats that Chinese restaurant in woonsocket that has jazz shows? worked in woonsocket for years and never went there
@@music5freak5 chan/s restaurant
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。
I love Hampton's laugh at about 10:30!!
GOAT IN JAZZ MUSIC.. PERIOD !!!
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。
This is still my favorite version. I also have the original 10" LP. I don't recall the date but it was probably 1950.
I have the LP too. You are close, 1947, recorded in Pasadena
My brother has my daddy's original LP of this, too. He'd better hide it from me the next time I'm at his house!
1947

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

いい時代になったのですね！こんな名演が気軽にRUclips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◯。RUclipsをBluetooth経由でシステムで視聴しましたが遜色ない😂
opening by Willie Smith is also incredible
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.
