The 1979 Berlin Jazz Festival was a showcase for the international jazz elite—and right in the middle of it all was Lionel Hampton. The vibraphone virtuoso and entertainer thrilled audiences with his explosive mix of swing, blues, and showmanship. His performance was one of the highlights of the renowned festival, which has made Berlin a jazz metropolis since the 1960s. A historic concert moment.
