Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Hampton built his career through segregated America, touring under racist travel conditions while helping break barriers as part of Benny Goodman’s integrated small groups.
- Scene Ecology: Golden Vibes shows Hampton’s command of the vibraphone, an instrument he helped turn from novelty color into a serious jazz lead voice.
- Media Narrative: By the late 50s, Hampton was already jazz royalty, bridging swing-era dance bands, small-group improvisation, showmanship, and the modern LP market.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
