Celebrate instrumental jazz at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival!Something Else! -
Something Else! is a powerhouse septet led by alto saxophonist Vincent Herring, featuring Jeremy Pelt, Wayne Escoffery, Paul Bollenback, David Kikoski, Essiet Essiet, and Lewis Nash. Their debut album Soul Jazz (Smoke Sessions Records) celebrates the groove-driven spirit of the 1960s soul jazz era with electrifying new energy. Drawing on works by Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock, Roy Hargrove, and more, the band fuses virtuosity with irresistible feel-reviving this classic sound for today's audiences.
Lionel Hampton Big Band -
Co-led by former Hampton band members, the Lionel Hampton Big Band brings Hampton's hard-swinging jazz to life with energetic performances of his classic hits. Continuing his legacy, the band honors the jazz icon's collaborations with greats like Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman.
Hamp's Jazz Ambassadors -
The Lionel Hampton Jazz Ambassadors is an exceptional ensemble made up of talented college musicians. This international group includes students from universities across the United States and abroad. Prior to the festival week, they only meet virtually, but now they come together at LHJF to collaborate, showcase their skills and celebrate the joys of jazz.
