In 1962, he formed the Slide Hampton Octet, which included stellar horn players Booker Little, Freddie Hubbard, and George Coleman.
Hampton's countless collaborations with Woody Herman and Dizzy Gillespie and many other prominent musicians of jazz were acknowledged by the 1998 Grammy Award — Best Jazz Arrangement with a Vocalist for Dee Dee Bridgewater's recording "Cotton Tail." In 2005, he received the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement on The Vanguard Orchestra's album The Way with recording "Past, Present, and Future."
