I finally met Mr. Hampton in the early 2000's at New School, where he conducted a clinic with the kids. He was a gent to all. He greeted me like I was royalty and with generosity. He made me feel rich. Alas, he died quickly thereafter.
My favorite Maynard band. I think you came to Watertown Jazz Festival in 2004 and did your charts with the Nashville Jazz Orchestra. It was GREAT! . We had Maynard in 2003. It was a hot summer night. He did not blip a note. Love Slide . . . his playing and arranging/composing.
