"Creation" is a mellow instrumental Lp by
vibraphonist Lennie Hibbert.
Leonard Aloysius Hibbert, popularly known as
"Lennie", popularized the Vibes in Jamaica.
He was born in Mavis Bank, Jamaica on
November 12, 1928. His interest in music
started at the early age of 2 when he devised
a little drum from an empty pan. Later at the
age of six the local Salvation Army allowed
him to play on their drums. At the age of eight
years he went to Alpha Boy's School and after
some time joined the school band where he was
placed on his 'old love', the drums.
After leaving school in 1944 he played in several
small orchestras and finally joined the Military
Band in 1946. It was during his time in the Military
Band that he taught himself the Vibes.
He returned to Alpha and was Band Master there
in the late fifties, where Floyd Lloyd and Vin Gordon
were among his students.
In 1976 he was awarded the Order of Distinction
(O.D.) for his contribution to music on the island
and for his work among the youth. He was
tirelessly helpful to young people, getting them
involved in music, dance, acting, and organized sport.
Lennie Hibbert died in the early eighties.
