Yeah, Sam's fantastic! I love his Blue Note stuff. It's sort of a model for me on how to play straight ahead with a free attitude.
He was playing a Chu in the 60's, no?

Good look going with that hat!

He was playing SML on all that Bluenote stuff. Sam is the Luminous Monolith.

I love Fuschia Swing Song.

yeah man, that's about as good as it gets. That's an album I've listened to for a long time and never ever get tired of it. What kills me is Tony's first notes on the ride cymbal.

Beatrice is one of my favorite tunes.

I've had the pleasure of playing with Sam several times. He's a really nice cat and just blows his *** off. It's always amazing to stand next to a real venerable master and hear them....it'll really send you back to the shed! =

So what ever became of Sam's SML? What horn is he playing these days? I love Sam's sound.

he seems to be playing on a black Keilwerth these days
