Lloyd Lambert (June 4, 1928 – October 31, 1995)[2] was an American R&B and jazz bandleader and bassist who played and recorded for over 50 years.

Hill often booked acts in conjunction with friend and business associate Frank Painia, who owned the Dew Drop Inn in New Orleans.

Huey "Piano" Smith, who had accompanied Slim, took him to meet Johnny Vincent, talent scout and producer with Specialty Records.

After Slim signed with Specialty Records Lloyd Lambert's outfit began backing him on the road and in the studio.

[3] After Guitar Slim's death, Lambert worked as a bandleader with Carol Fran and Nappy Brown.

In 1960 he moved to Houston, where he worked as a session musician for Duke/ Peacock Records,[5] and played in jazz saxophonist Arnett Cobb's band for eight years.

At the suggestion of his brother pianist Phamous, he moved back to New Orleans in 1973,[4] performing with several Dixieland bands on Bourbon Street.

"[3] He also worked a variety of recording sessions, including with Snooks Eaglin, James Thunderbird Davis,[5] Earl "Fatha" Hines,[13] Wallace Davenport[14] and Lillian Boutte.

[15] Lambert put together his own Dixieland band in 1981, playing at the Maison Bourbon jazz club, and working in the French Quarter into the 1990s.
