AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow:
Lionel Hampton’s classic live version of “Star Dust” at this “Just Jazz” concert is rightfully acclaimed, and remains one of the highpoints of his long career. Oddly enough Hampton does not appear on the other three selections included on this LP (which has since been reissued on CD) but these fine renditions of “One ‘O’Clock Jump,” “The Man I Love” and “Lady Be Good” do benefit from excellent solos by trumpeter Charlie Shavers, altoist Willie Smith, Corky Corcoran on tenor and bassist Slam Stewart. Highly recommended (http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-original-stardust-mw0000896738).
