| Starting in the 1930's on
the vibraphone as a contemporary of Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman,
and staying active into the 90's, Lionel Hampton built one of the towering
careers in jazz music. A multi-instrumentalist, Hampton also enjoyed
unmatched popularity as a bandleader, showman, and social activist.
As a musician his greatest impact was on the vibraphone, becoming the first
great jazz improviser on the instrument. Over the years his big band
featured some of the best-known singers and musicians in jazz history,
and it became one the longest running and commercially successful institutions
in jazz. He also recorded extensively in many all-star small group
projects as both sideman and leader. Hampton became one of America's
most beloved musical figures. His astonishing longevity and extroverted
personality made him a favorite of everyone from ordinary music fans to
World Leaders.
Lionel Leo "Hamp" Hampton was born April 20th in Louisville, Kentucky, but was soon sent to live with his grandparents in Chicago. They sent him to Holy Rosary Academy in Wisconsin, where he had his first musical exposure, learning drumming in the school band. By his early teen's Hampton had gone to live with his Uncle Richard Morgan, a bootlegger with connections to show business. Morgan encouraged his nephew's desire for a musical career and even purchased Lionel's first drum kit, which was modeled after one played by Jimmie Bertrand with the Erskine Hawkins Band. Bertrand, a drummer and part time xylophonist was Hampton?s first musical idol. Hampton began playing drums for a newsboy's band organized by the Chicago Defender, a leading black newspaper. By the close of the 1920's he had become a professional musician, playing in some of the leading Midwest "territory" bands of the day. His first recording was with Paul Howard's Quality Serenaders in 1929. In the course of touring with these bands, He found himself in Los Angeles, where he joined Les Hite's band, which was accompanying Louis Armstrong at the time. By 1930, Hampton had taught himself to play the vibraphone. When Armstrong heard him practicing, he asked Hampton to play behind him on his next recording session. Hampton's work on Memories of You and Shine was the first recorded jazz improvisation on vibraphone. Hampton also began playing piano and singing, eventually becoming popular enough to leave Hite's band and form his own big band. In 1936, he was leading a band at the Paradise Club on Los Angeles's famed Central Avenue, when Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, and Teddy Wilson came in to see the show. They joined the band on stage. Goodman was so impressed by Hampton's vibraphone sound, that he asked Lionel to join a recording session that was scheduled for the next day. These recordings by the Goodman Quartet were extremely successful, and Hampton became a regular, along with Charlie Christian on electric guitar, on small group records with Goodman. He also occasionally played with Goodman's big band. While working with Goodman throughout the remainder of the 30's, he also began to record a series of classic swing albums with various all-star small groups for RCA Victor. By the early 40's he longed to lead a big band again. Encouraged by Goodman and his wife Gladys, he formed his own band in 1941. This band had a huge hit in 1942 with the R&B flavored tune Fly' in Home, which featured Illinois Jacquet on tenor saxophone. Hampton's band soon became an institution, with a musical signature that was R&B based, but Be-bop influenced and a performing style that was wildly exhibitionist. This would be the style that Hampton's band retained for the next 50 years. Over the years this band would employ the likes of Jacquet, Al Grey, Earl Bostic, Gigi Gryce, Dexter Gordon, Arnett Cobb, Charles Mingus, Clifford Brown, Art Farmer, Quincy Jones, Fats Navarro, Clark Terry and Wes Montgomery. Hampton had a good ear for singers, which led him to give early breaks to Dinah Washington, Joe Williams, Annie Ross and Betty Carter. During the 50's Hampton also became one America's unofficial goodwill ambassadors, as his band was very popular at international festivals throughout Europe. Later in the decade, he resumed his small group recordings for Norman Granz. Granz teamed him Stan Getz, Buddy De Franco, Oscar Petersen, Buddy Rich and Art Tatum. In the 60's Lionel Hampton participated in several re-unions of the original Benny Goodman Quartet, some which were recorded and televised. He also became involved, along with Gladys, in Harlem urban renewal. Although Gladys died in 1971, he legacy was assured with the opening of the Gladys Hampton Homes in the late 70's. Eventually, projects initiated by the Hampton's would house 700 low-income families. Throughout, Hampton toured with his band and various all-star bands, until the early nineties. Despite the ravages of time, which included arthritis and a brain hemorrhage, Hampton continued to front his bands, playing, singing and dancing as if time did not matter. In 1993, a year after his hemorrhage, he played several U.K. concerts with the Golden Men of Jazz, including Junior Mance, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Benny Golson, and Al Grey. To underscore Hampton's place in music history, one of his vibraphones was placed in the National Museum of Natural History in 2001. On August 31st 2002, Lionel Hampton succumbed to heart failure, and passed away at the age of 94, leaving behind one of the great legacies in jazz. |

 He loves doing research on the internet and often uncovers interesting information. Thank goodness he shares it. His latest find was a few days ago when he was "poking around on the web" and stumbled across an item at the top of the Feb. 17, 1951, issue of Billboard. The two-paragraph article was datelined New York and headlined "Hamp Takes to the Hills." It was a piece about Lionel Hampton, one of the historic figures of jazz and said that he had turned hillbilly, if you can imagine. He had composed and placed for publication a piece aimed for the Country and Western market titled "Hoedown." The second paragraph was what really was interesting. He was going to use a pseudonym for the song and call himself "Tex Denison, taken from the name of his wife, Gladys' hometown, Denison, Texas." Jim didn't stop there, he kept poking around, looking for "Hoedown," but said that article was the only thing he could find about it. He didn't know if Lionel Hampton ever followed through with his plan to break into the Country & Western market using the pseudonym "Tex Denison." Lionel is the famous one, but Gladys is the one we are interested in here. She's the one who made him wealthy. I wonder how many people knew that she was from Denison. Little is known about the life of Gladys Riddle, her name before she met Hampton. In checking census records, Jim found several discrepencies in her age. It's not known if the vagueness of her early years was to avoid revealing her true age. Some sources said she was born in 1918, but by 1929 she was a successful modiste (one who produces, designs or deals in ladies' fashions, according to my dictionary) in Los Angeles. Other sources say she was born in 1914, which is consistent with her obituary. Yet a 1996 book, "Notable Black American Women, Book II," says that 1910 is a more accurate estimation. Here's where her story gets interesting. The 1910 U.S. Census shows her living in Denison with her mother above what later became the Star Theater, then still later the State Theater and now Homestead Winery and Devoli's Italian Restaurant. She was listed as eight years old at the time -- April 15, 1910, with an estimated birth year of 1902. Her age makes no difference. What's interesting is that she lived in Denison in her early years. Gladys met Lionel in 1932 in California. She already was a successful businesswoman who sometimes referred to herself as "just a little dressmaker." She had become an important modiste for MGM studios in the 1920s. Among her clients were Marion Davies, Randolph Hearst, Norma Shearer, Lord Mountbatten, Rosalind Russell and Joan Crawford. Crawford later retained her as her exclusive dressmaker and the two remained friends for years.. Gladys gave up her career and moved with Lionel to New York in 1936 after he was offered a position with the Benny Goodman Quartet. They got married on the way to New York, stopping in Yuma, Ariz. She became his business manager and sometimes his booking agent. Her reputation as a shrewd manager was legendary during their 35 year partnership. When Gladys died of a heart attack in New York in 1971, she left Lionel a wealthy man for his remaining 31 years. He became a philanthropist, investing in public housing and naming the Gladys Hampton Houses in Harlem and a project called Hampton Hills in Newark, N.J. in her honor. Gladys was part Native American and was born on a reservation in Lehigh, Okla. in Coal County. Her mother, Agnes Orviss who was born in Texas was living with the J.H. Riddle family in Denison. The Riddle's had a son, Roscoe C. Riddle, who graduated from Denison Educational Institute in 1908 according to "Two Schools on Main Street," page 117. That's the book that Mavis Ann Bryant and I wrote in 2008. He later became a doctor and lived in Benton Harbor, Mich. Gladys left Denison sometime before 1920 to attend Fisk University in Nashville. After graduating, she joined her mother in Los Angeles, where Agnes was running a boarding house primarily for railroad workers. Clora Bryant of Los Angeles, who also grew up in Denison and was a member of the Prairie View Co-eds, all girl orchestra before becoming an outstanding trumpetist and playing the Apollo Theater in New York at age 17, told me several years ago that she was a good friend of Gladys and Lionel's. I seem to remember that she had played with Lionel at one time. But, I don't remember her ever telling me that Gladys had lived in Denison. Many thanks to Jim Sears for digging out this information and putting it together for me. |
