The Berliner Jazztage 1979 were a showcase of the 
international jazz elite – and right at the center: Lionel 
Hampton. The vibraphone virtuoso and entertainer 
captivated the audience with his explosive blend of 
swing, blues, and showmanship. His performance ranks 
among the highlights of the renowned festival that has 
made Berlin a jazz capital since the 1960s. A historic 
concert moment.
