Slide is a living master-player and writer. Did anyone hear his Jobim CD of a few years back? A keeper. I wonder how he gets that huge sound. A 'bone player friend said it's partly his horn and mouthpiece-closer to a classical player's set up.

The horn Slide plays is the same bore size of a bass trombone, except without the triggers (extra tubing), and his mouthpiece is also very large.

Took me about 40 years to realize he is Lionel Hampton's son :-)
