The New Lionel Hampton Big Band

Picture

After the passing of jazz vibraphonist and bandleader Lionel Hampton in 2002, three of Hamp's longtime musicians — saxophonists Lance Bryant and Cleave Guyton and bassist Christian Fabian — organized to keep the band and its music in front of the public.  They were joined by vibraphonist Jason Marsalis in 2015. 

​When they booked Antonia Bennett to sing two sets with the band at the New Orleans Jazz Market, Gates wrote and led the arrangements, including this one of Sonny & Cher's The Beat Goes On.

Recorded at the Jazz Market, New Orleans LA,
​28 April 2018.
