Lionel Hampton comes to the University of Idaho in 1984, making his first appearance at the Jazz Festival. With that appearance, Lionel and Doc Skinner formed a partnership and the creation of the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. A partnership that included the dedication of the University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Music in Lionel's honor. The first and only university music school named in honor of a jazz musician.
