SLIDE HAMPTON trombone solo 2001 LAMENT

Locksley Wellington "Slide" Hampton and an all-star big band (trombones and rhythm section) perform "LAMENT" by J.J. Johnson. Videotaped on May 25, 2001 by Clyde Yasuhara in Redondo Beach, California. (Note: I cut out the middle portion at 4:24 to save time, and to focus on Mr. Hampton's playing)

I once had the great pleasure of meeting Mr. Hampton. It was about the time of the performance in this video. We were both waiting for our flights at the Cincinnati airport. I noticed the white haired gentleman with the trombone case and went over to speak to him. I "played" trombone in high school and college and was curious about the guy with the horn. He was rather gracious and gave no indication of his many accomplishments. I wish I had known more about his distinguished career, I had no idea I was in the presence of such musical greatness.

Bravo Slide!!!! Slide is the greatest. Imagine playing as he does on a horn the size of a Bass trombone

I believe he is playing a custom horn built by Worischek - a manufacturer based in Germany:

how many musicians are there

[@truthaboveagenda]

Half of these musicians hung themselves, after realizing that they had dedicated their lives to funeral music. smile

It's been a sparkling waste of your brain to even conceive of something so dark as you spake. Wow!
