THIS is a musician...............NOT lady Ga-Ga,or the other imposters that have perverted the process.. this is the dying breed of human beings that understand that music is just a direct path to discovering your own soul, and what do they usually find..............Humility.............

@Daslide I agree completely. Slide Hampton was one of the nicest gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

As great as he is a Trombonist he is just as equal as a human being. In my meetings with him he was always so humble, helpful and kind.

Slide is a wonderful trombonist. I have had the pleasure of seeing him live in New York City on a few occasions. I is also a great human being with a great deal of humility.
