Biography[edit]

Early life[edit]

Lionel Hampton was born in 1908 inLouisville, Kentucky,and was raised by his mother. Shortly after he was born, he and his mother moved to her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama.[1][2][3]He spent his early childhood inKenosha,Wisconsin,before he and his family moved toChicago,Illinois,in 1916. As a youth, Hampton was a member of theBud Billiken Club,an alternative to theBoy Scouts of America,which was off-limits because ofracial segregation.[4]

During the 1920s, while still a teenager, Hampton tookxylophonelessons fromJimmy Bertrandand began to play drums.[5]Hampton was raisedCatholic,and started out playingfifeand drum at the Holy Rosary Academy near Chicago.[6][7]

Early career[edit]

Lionel Hampton began his career playing drums for theChicago DefenderNewsboys' Band (led byMajor N. Clark Smith) while still a teenager in Chicago. While he lived in Chicago, Hampton saw Louis Armstrong at the Vendome, recalling that the entire audience went crazy after his first solo.[8]

He moved to California in 1927 or 1928, playing drums for the Dixieland Blues-Blowers. He made his recording debut with The Quality Serenaders led byPaul Howard,then left forCulver Cityand drummed for theLes Hiteband at Sebastian's Cotton Club. One of his trademarks as a drummer was his ability to do stunts with multiple pairs of sticks such as twirling and juggling without missing a beat.[9]

During this period, he began practicing on thevibraphone.In 1930Louis Armstrongcame to California and hired the Les Hite band for performances and recordings. Armstrong was impressed with Hampton's playing after Hampton reproduced Armstrong's solo on the vibraphone and asked him to play behind him like that during vocal choruses.[10]So began his career as a vibraphonist, popularizing the use of the instrument in the process.[5]Invented ten years earlier, the vibraphone is essentially a xylophone with metal bars, asustain pedal,and resonators equipped with electric-powered fans that addtremolo.[11]

While working with the Les Hite band, Hampton also occasionally did some performing withNat Shilkretand his orchestra. During the early 1930s, he studied music at theUniversity of Southern California.In 1934 he led his own orchestra, and then appeared in theBing CrosbyfilmPennies From Heaven(1936) alongside Louis Armstrong (wearing a mask in a scene while playing drums).[12]

With Benny Goodman[edit]

As far as I'm concerned, what he did in those days—and they were hard days in 1937—made it possible for Negroes to have their chance in baseball and other fields.

Also in November 1936,[14]theBenny GoodmanOrchestra came to Los Angeles to play thePalomar Ballroom.WhenJohn Hammondbrought Goodman to see Hampton perform, Goodman invited him to join his trio, which soon became the Benny Goodman Quartet with pianistTeddy Wilsonand drummerGene Krupacompleting the lineup. The Trio and Quartet were among the first racially integrated jazz groups to perform before audiences,[13][15]and were a leading small group of the day.

Lionel Hampton Orchestra[edit]

While Hampton worked for Goodman in New York, he recorded with several different small groups known as the Lionel Hampton Orchestra, as well as assorted small groups within the Goodman band. In 1940 Hampton left the Goodman organization under amicable circumstances to form his ownbig band.[14]

Hampton's orchestra developed a high profile during the 1940s and early 1950s. His third recording with them in 1942 produced the version of "Flying Home",featuring a solo byIllinois Jacquetthat anticipatedrhythm & blues.Although Hampton first recorded "Flying Home" under his own name with a small group in 1940 for Victor, the best known version is the big band version recorded for Decca on May 26, 1942,[16]in a new arrangement by Hampton's pianistMilt Buckner.[17]The 78 RPM disc became successful enough for Hampton to record "Flyin' Home #2" in 1944, this time a feature forArnett Cobb.The song went on to become the theme song for all three men.

GuitaristBilly Mackelfirst joined Hampton in 1944, and would perform and record with him almost continuously through to the late 1970s.[18]In 1947, Hamp performed "Stardust"at a" Just Jazz "concert for producerGene Norman,also featuringCharlie ShaversandSlam Stewart;the recording was issued by Decca. Later, Norman's GNP Crescendo label issued the remaining tracks from the concert.

Hampton was a featured artist at numerousCavalcade of Jazzconcerts held atWrigley Fieldin Los Angeles and produced byLeon Hefflin Sr.[19]His first performance was at the second Cavalcade of Jazz concert held on October 12, 1946, and also featuredJack McVea,Slim Gaillard,T-Bone Walker,theHoneydrippersandLouis Armstrong.

The fifth Cavalcade of Jazz concert was held in two locations,Wrigley Fieldin Los Angeles andLane Fieldin San Diego, July 10, 1949, and September 3, 1949, respectively.Betty Carter,Jimmy Witherspoon,Buddy Banks,Smiley Turner andBig Jay McNeelyalso played with Hampton.

It was at the sixth Cavalcade of Jazz, June 25, 1950, that Hampton's playing precipitated the closest thing to a riot in the show's eventful history. Lionel and his band paraded around the ball park's infield playing ‘Flying High’.[20]The huge crowd, around 14,000, went berserk, tossed cushions, coats, hats, programs, and just about anything else they could lay hands on and swarmed on the field.[21]Dinah Washington,Roy Milton,PeeWee Crayton,Lillie Greenwood,Tiny Davis and Her Hell Divers[22]were also featured.

His final Cavalcade of Jazz concert held on July 24, 1955 (Eleventh) also featuredBig Jay McNeely,The Medallions,The PenguinsandJames Moodyand his Orchestra.[23]

From the mid-1940s until the early 1950s, Hampton led a lively rhythm & blues band whoseDecca Recordsrecordings included numerous young performers who later had significant careers. They included bassistCharles Mingus,saxophonistJohnny Griffin,guitaristWes Montgomery,vocalistDinah Washington,and vocal stylist "Little" Jimmy Scott. Other noteworthy band members were trumpetersDizzy Gillespie,Cat Anderson,Kenny Dorham,andSnooky Young,trombonistJimmy Cleveland,and saxophonistsJerome RichardsonandCurtis Lowe.[24]

The Hampton orchestra that toured Europe in 1953 includedClifford Brown,Gigi Gryce,Anthony Ortega,Monk Montgomery,George Wallington,Art Farmer,Quincy Jones,and singerAnnie Ross.Hampton continued to record with small groups and jam sessions during the 1940s and 1950s, withOscar Peterson,Buddy DeFranco,and others. In 1955, while in California working onThe Benny Goodman Storyhe recorded withStan Getzand made two albums withArt TatumforNorman Granzas well as with his own big band.

Hampton performed with Louis Armstrong and Italian singerLara Saint Paulat the 1968Sanremo Music Festivalin Italy. The performance created a sensation with Italian audiences, as it broke into a real jazz session.[25]That same year, Hampton received a Papal Medal fromPope Paul VI.

Later career[edit]

During the 1960s, Hampton's groups were in decline; he was still performing what had succeeded for him earlier in his career. He did not fare much better in the 1970s, though he recorded actively for hisWho's Who in Jazzrecord label, which he founded in 1977/1978.[14][26]

Beginning in February 1984, Hampton and his band played at theUniversity of Idaho's annual jazz festival, which was renamed theLionel Hampton Jazz Festivalthe following year.[27]In 1987, the UI'sschool of musicwas renamed for Hampton, the first university music school named for a jazz musician.

During much of the 1980s, some notable sidemen in Hampton's orchestra includedThomas Chapin,Paul Jeffrey,Frankie Dunlop,Arvell Shaw,John Colianni,Oliver JacksonandGeorge Duvivier.Hampton remained active until a stroke in Paris in 1991 led to a collapse on stage. That incident, combined with years of chronicarthritis,forced him to cut back drastically on performances. However, he did play at theSmithsonian National Museum of American Historyin 2001 shortly before his death.[6][14][28]On April 15, 2002, the United States Congress celebrated Hampton's life and "resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Congress, on behalf of the American people, extends its birthday greetings and best wishes to Lionel Hampton on the occasion of his 94th birthday."[29]

Hampton died fromcongestive heart failureatMount Sinai Hospital,New York City, on August 31, 2002.[30]He was interred at theWoodlawn Cemetery,Bronx, New York. His funeral was held on September 7, 2002, and featured a performance byWynton Marsalisand David Ostwald's Gully Low Jazz Band atRiverside ChurchinManhattan;the procession began atThe Cotton ClubinHarlem.[30][31]Speakers at his funeral included U.S. representativesCharles RangelandJohn Conyersand former PresidentGeorge H. W. Bush.[32]

Personal life[edit]

Hampton in 1997

On November 11, 1936, inYuma, Arizona,Lionel Hampton married Gladys Riddle (1913–1971).[33]Gladys was Lionel's business manager throughout much of his career. Many musicians recall that Lionel ran the music and Gladys ran the business.

Around 1945 or 1946, he handed a pair of vibraphone mallets to then-five year old (later jazz musician)Roy Ayers.

During the 1950s he had a strong interest inJudaismand raised money forIsrael.In 1953 he composed aKing Davidsuiteand performed it in Israel with theBoston Pops Orchestra.Later in life Hampton became aChristian Scientist.[6]Hampton was also a Thirty-third degreePrince Hallfreemason.[34]

In January 1997, his apartment caught fire and destroyed his awards and belongings; Hampton escaped uninjured.[35]

Charity[edit]

Hampton was deeply involved in the construction of variouspublic housingprojects, and founded the Lionel Hampton Development Corporation. Construction began with the Lionel Hampton Houses inHarlem, New York,in the 1960s, with the help of thenRepublicangovernorNelson Rockefeller.Hampton's wife, Gladys Hampton, also was involved in construction of a housing project in her name, the Gladys Hampton Houses. Gladys died in 1971. In the 1980s, Hampton built another housing project called Hampton Hills inNewark, New Jersey.

Hampton was a staunchRepublicanand served as a delegate to severalRepublican National Conventions.[36]He served as vice-chairman of the New York Republican County Committee for some years[37]and also was a member of the New York City Human Rights Commission.[6]He served as Director of Special Events forGerald Ford's 1976 re-election campaign.[38]Hampton donated almost $300,000 to Republican campaigns and committees throughout his lifetime.[39]However, in 1996 he endorsed Clinton/Gore, saying that the Republican party, which he had joined because it was the party of Lincoln, no longer represented moderates like himself.[40]
