If you are here you probably know about Lionel Hampton - one of the most important bandleaders of the swing era (and beyond). But did you now that in addition to playing vibraphone and drums, he also played piano - specifically that he played with two fingers, kinda like he was on the vibes. In any case it sounds great. This is a video of him playing the melody with a buddy holding down the rhythm. And here are a couple links to other great Lionel Hampton piano songs:
