Historical NoteReturn to Top
Lionel Hampton was born in Louisville, Kentucky on April 20, 1908. He died on August 31, 2002 in New York City. He showed a talent for music at an early age and by high school, was playing drums with a jazz band organized by his employer, a newspaper called the Chicago Defender. Later, he attended classes in music theory at the University of Southern California and gained a reputation as a great drummer on the West Coast. In 1930, Louis Armstrong, when working for Les Hite's band, asked Hampton to fill in at an engagement at Sebastian's Cotton Club in Los Angeles. Then, while at a recording session, Hampton discovered a vibraharp in an adjoining room and began experimenting with the instrument. He would later become recognized as the "King of Vibes."
In 1936, Benny Goodman invited him to join his newly formed quartet and this relationship lasted for four years until Hampton decided to strike out on his own, forming the Lionel Hampton Orchestra in New York City in 1940. After the demise of the big band sound in the 1960s, Hampton changed the size and structure of his band and called it "The Inner Circle." His professional presence in the music industry helped hit a new milestone as blacks and whites began to integrate the scene, breaking barriers that had existed before that time. In 1936, Hampton married Gladys Riddle who became his business manager, running all aspects of the enterprise until her death in 1971.
Besides touring worldwide and playing engagements at home, Hampton developed a working relationship with the University of Idaho in 1984 and the annual jazz festival became a huge success. The university honored Hampton in 1987 by dedicating its school of music as the "Lionel Hampton School of Music." The festival continued to grow with jazz artists from around the world participating. Hampton remained active in the festival until his death in 2002.
For further information on Hampton's life, see Hamp: An Autobiography by Lionel Hampton and James Haskins, Warner Books, 1989.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The materials in the Lionel Hampton collection span most of his musical career, 1926–2002, with the bulk of the collection dating 1940–1990. There are obvious gaps and a narrow focus of some parts of the collection. The absence of many personal papers and much memorabilia that one might expect in a collection of this sort is likely due to a fire that destroyed Hampton's New York City apartment in early 1997. Most of the records in this collection were given to the University of Idaho in 1992, another portion of them were in Hampton's possession but stored elsewhere at the time of the fire, and some survived that fire because they were in a back closet. Other records were either destroyed or are still in the possession of business managers and publicists.

Arrangement
This collection came to the University of Idaho in parts and original order was difficult to discern for much of it. Where it was apparent, as in the case of files (incomplete as they are) for the various businesses, we maintained that order. Folder titles were copied to new folders but additional headings and dates which were added to clarify the contents for ease of research.
The collection is organized into ten series: 1. Business Records. 2. Personal Papers and Ephemera. 3. Photographs. 4. Drawings. 5. Arrangements. 6. Video and Sound Recordings. 7. Plaques and Awards. 8. Clothing and Accessories. 9. Musical Instruments. 10. Memorabilia.
Location of Collection
Special Collections and Archives of the University of Idaho Library and at the Student Union Building. Forty-eight hours advance notice is required to access artifacts housed offsite.Acquisition Information

Processing Note
Michael Tarabulski was the archivist for this collection until 2008. Laura Guedes processed the posters, drawings, discs, plaques and awards, and memorabilia. The photographs were rearranged because some groups of related photographs were dispersed among the collection; once regrouped, these related photos enhanced identification of a specific event, concert, etc. From 2008 to 2010, Ms. Guedes also revised the arrangement of the collection and the finding aid.
