Lionel Hampton - Hamp's Boogie Woogie (Hey Ba-Ba-Re-Bop!) - 3 May 1974 • World of Jazz

"Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop" is a 1946 song by Lionel Hampton and His Orchestra. The song was credited to Hampton and his drummer Curley Hamner, although it was partly rewritten of Helen Humes’ hit “Be-Baba-Leba”. Once upon a time in the 1930's, Lionel Hampton (April 20, 1908 – August 31, 2002) together with Louis Armstrong and Lionel’s Orchestra were recording a new track together. This studio was also equipped with a vibraphone, which Hampton immediately played on after Armstrong asked him to do so. Hampton played the songs: “Memories of you & Shine.” Since this day, Hampton is called the first jazz vibronist of the world. The vibraphone wasn’t the only instrument Hampton mastered. Hampton was also well-known for his improvisation skills on several instruments. Some say Hampton created the start of rock and roll! Lionel Hampton was a jazz vibranist, pianist, drummer and bandleader. In 1992, he was inducted into the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame.

This unique performance was recorded for the Dutch TROS TV Program 'Music-All-In' on 3 May 1974.
