IJC MG 023 Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival Office records and Collection on Jazz
Since the 1960s, the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival has brought jazz masters to University of Idaho with elementary, junior high, high school and college students to share and celebrate a truly American art form. The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival has grown from a one-day event to an amazing three-day experience!
The first University of Idaho Jazz Festival took place in 1967, with a dozen student groups and one guest artist. The festival continued to grow from there — erupting onto the national stage in 1982, when thousands of students and spectators came to hear Ella Fitzgerald.
In 1984, the festival's most important relationship began when Lionel Hampton joined the excitement in Moscow. Inspired by the enthusiasm of the students, Hamp pledged his support to the festival and, in 1985, the festival was renamed in his honor.
Materials received from Lynn Baird in 2016 (UA 2016-20).
