Slide Hampton

Locksley Wellington "Slide" Hampton (April 21, 1932 – November 18, 2021) was an American jazz trombonist, composer and arranger. As his nickname implies, Hampton's main instrument was slide trombone, but he also occasionally played tuba and flugelhorn.
Hampton taught at Harvard, artist-in-residence in 1981, the University of Massachusetts, DePaul University in Chicago, and Indiana State University.
Hampton died on November 18, 2021 at his home in Orange, New Jersey at the age of 89.
