I love his regard for his parents. Such a positive person and an amazing player and arranger!

[@geraldnichols2722]

As a trombonist myself I find it incredible that Slide's left-handed playing of the trombone wasn't mentioned. I don't think there are many others that play that way. He is a marvelous player!

[@geraldnichols2722]

That is, Slide Hampton manipulates the trombone slide with his left hand (for those unfamiliar.)

One of the greatest musicians of all times as well as in a ranger had the opportunity to work with slide Hampton on two occasions with my big band and he has his music with the most difficult of all the musicians that I was able to feature great interview

[@daveziegner]

Wonderful insights on large ensembles and music in general. This should have way more views. Beautiful guy. Great interview.

On further thought--- why was so much time given to "arranging, orchestration etc. rather than playing his trombone?
