In Jazz, a vamp is simply a repeating bass figure. The equivalent in Classical music would be an ostinato. A background vamp provides a performer, or perhaps the pianist's right hand, a harmonic framework upon which to improvise. A vamp often acts as a springboard at the opening of an improvisation.
Vamp is the name of a character from the game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, a member of Dead Cell.
