    Had the privilege of not only seeing him in person, but playing this signature song, and grabbing a bite to eat with him after an outdoor concert back in the 70s. A true gentleman. Still have the menu he autographed for me. #FlyingHome

    My Dad introduced me to Lionel's hard swinging style on old Benny Goodman monoaural albums. The funky, vibrato skatting and the hum along style fascinated me; and even at age 10, I knew Mr. H was one cool cat. This is gut punching sound: frantic, frenetic, relentless. I have an l.p. of Lionel and his Jazz All Stars Live in Emmen, Holland, recorded when the musicians were considerably older. That sound is a little more mellow and contemplative, but still has the signature flare of vibe clusters in the closing bars. Check out Lionel with Wild Bill Davis on Hammond Organ in their rendition of "Misty". What incredible talent. Gives me chils.
