mjzee Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 Happy birthday, to one of our unsung heroes! I'll play this: Quote
Clunky Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 I’ll dig out some of his Atlantic LPs to celebrate. Interesting player with a very varied discography Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 Yes, happy birthday! I have to admit that I didn’t realize that Slide was still among us. Also, less surprisingly, I also just learned Locksley Wellington‘s full name as well. Quote

Peter Friedman Posted April 22, 2020 Report Posted April 22, 2020 Happy Birthday - 88 years !!! Quote
Gheorghe Posted April 23, 2020 Report Posted April 23, 2020 Such a great musician. I like all his stuff, his Arrangements and his great solo trombone. He has Always such a lot of humour in his solos, a lot of quotations from other Songs. Quote
mikeweil Posted April 23, 2020 Report Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Happy Birthday! Any of his European big band albums is worth hearing, I think they are somewhat underrated. This here is a personal favourite (not for the cover, which looks like asuperficial attempt to draw sales) with great players to the last seat - among others, Dexter Gordon (playing Ben Webster's sax!): https://www.discogs.com/Slide-Hampton-Joe-Haider-Orchestra-Give-Me-A-Double/release/2566860 Edited April 23, 2020 by mikeweil Quote
