About the Book

Music and magic came together in Moscow, Idaho, when jazz legend Lionel Hampton fell in love with music educator Lynn "Doc" Skinner's idea: let students from remote areas of the country come to the University of Idaho's jazz festival and learn directly from the greats. With only that dream, the two men went on to grow what had been a modest annual event into a world-class celebration of music, education, love, and life--while developing a deep and profound friendship along the way. That accomplishment is at the heart of Hamp & Doc: Lynn "Doc" Skinner and the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival--Skinner's memoir, as told to Alan Solan, former arts and entertainment editor of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, who covered the festival for many years. Hamp & Doc is packed with previously unheard stories about some of the biggest names in jazz (Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, and many more), rare photos from Skinner's personal collection, a behind-the-scenes look at his thirty-one years directing the festival, and inspiring anecdotes about his early life as a musical prodigy growing up in a loving Mormon family in southern Idaho. But most of all, Hamp & Doc is a celebration. Skinner and Hampton created an unforgettable experience for hundreds of thousands of students, many of whom went on to become renowned musicians in their own right. At last, there is a fitting testament to this incredible legacy.

Review :
"Doc's passion exuded like a beacon attracting the world's greatest jazz musicians and journalists to share their talent, experience, and support. His vision of ensuring the perpetuation of the art form by exposing young people to the music of the masters through performance and education was ingenious!" - Dee Daniels, jazz vocalist "The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Moscow, Idaho, has been one of the most important events in the history of jazz for its musicality and amazing scope." - Claudio Roditi, jazz trumpeter "[Doc] would always take the time whenever I was around him at the Festival to express ... that to him I was a very special human, and to let me know that he cared about my life.... If ever I met an angel, it's Doc Skinner." - Benny Green, jazz pianist "Dr. Lynn Skinner has made a very important contribution to jazz education in his position as director of the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival ..." - John Stowell, jazz guitarist "Dr. Lynn Skinner, the man who changed our destiny, our life ... The musician, composer, pianist, producer, whose talent, energy, and infinite devotion to music, together with the legendary Lionel Hampton, contributed to establishing one of the largest festivals in the USA." - Leonid Vintskevich, jazz pianist "Any jazz fan who loves Lionel Hampton, who feels good after reading stories where kind people treat each other kindly, or who wants to see lovely candid photographs will love this book." - Michael Steinman, Jazz Lives
