Unquestionably, one of the most naturally charming men that I’ve ever met, Slide (Lockesly) Hampton was a mentor, a friend and a wonderful trombonist.
My stories and memories of Slide are endless, and I keep them in the vault :)
He helped me to survive the mental rigours of travelling through the USA and Europe as a fresh-assed, naive college boy, just out of Uni. of Toronto, with Woody and Basie.
Thank you to an unforgettable musician and man.....RIP Slide Hampton.aow
