Dick Twardzik and Lionel Hampton

[Stonewall15]

In Jack Chambers book "Bouncin' With Bartok" about Richard "Dick" Twardzik chapter 10 describes Twardzik's playing piano as part of Lionel Hampton's touring band. Do any recordings of these sessions exist?

that´s what i´m thinking since i´ve read the book. unfortunately not. but there  m u s t   be some aircheck or privat concert recording exist from the dixie tour 1954!!!  (same increcdibly Situation with earl hines band of 1943 with dizzy and bird and more recordings  from Billy eckstine´s band) .....  but sometimes things come up (like the dizzy/bird town hall concert on uptown records) and with hampton´s dixie tour it will be the same (i´m sure....)

 

Keep boppin´
