Looking for a trombone player that is very soulful, and can also tastefully “shred” the chord changes? Can this same player also be a great composer and arranger? Slide Hampton is that trombone player.
Slide Hampton is a tremendous innovator on the trombone in technique and musicality with varied influences ranging from J.J. Johnson to John Coltrane.
Feel free to click on the videos below to watch and listen to Slide’s masterful playing and arranging:
