Sam Most • The Amazing Mr. Sam Most



Biography
Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Sam Most began his incredible musical journey at the age of 18 with the bands of Tommy Dorsey, Shep Fields, Boyd Raeburn, and Don Redman.

His first recording at age 23, a single entitled “Undercurrent Blues”, clearly established him as the “first bop flutist.” The very next year he was awarded Downbeat Magazine's “Critic's New Star Award”.

A true pioneer and innovator, Sam is credited as being the first flutist to “sing” or “hum” through the flute, as evidenced by his recordings during the ‘50s.

Between the years of 1953-1958 Sam led and recorded sessions for Prestige, Debut, Vanguard, and Bethlehem, bringing the flute into the forefront of jazz improvisation. He also worked in different settings with Chris Connor, Paul Quinichette, and Teddy Wilson.

After touring with Buddy Rich (1959-1961), Sam moved to Los Angeles and became a studio musician, also working in Las Vegas and Palm Springs with Red Norvo.

Sam resurfaced on the international scene in the late '70s, recording six albums on the Xanadu label, including an album of original compositions, “From the Attic of My Mind.”

Sam’s musical journey and contributions to the jazz world have far from ended. From 1987 to present Sam, along with producer Fernando Gelbard of LiquidJazz.com, has recorded four albums, including “Solo Flute,” an album featuring just Sam on alto flute….you’ve got to check it out!

Biografía
Nacido en Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey, Sam Most comenzó su increíble viaje musical a la edad de 18 años con las bandas de Tommy Dorsey, Shep Fields, Boyd Raeburn y Don Redman.

Su primera grabación a los 23 años, un single titulado "Undercurrent Blues", lo estableció claramente como el "primer flautista de bop". Al año siguiente fue galardonado por la revista Downbeat con el "Critic's New Star Award".

Un verdadero pionero e innovador, Sam es acreditado como el primer flautista que "canta" o "tararea" a través de la flauta, como lo demuestran sus grabaciones durante los años 50.

Entre los años 1953 y 1958 Sam dirigió y grabó sesiones para Prestige, Debut, Vanguard y Bethlehem, llevando a la flauta a la vanguardia de la improvisación de jazz. También trabajó en diferentes escenarios con Chris Connor, Paul Quinichette y Teddy Wilson.

Después de ir de gira con Buddy Rich (1959-1961), Sam se trasladó a Los Ángeles y se convirtió en músico de estudio, trabajando también en Las Vegas y Palm Springs con Red Norvo.

Sam resurgió en la escena internacional a finales de los 70, grabando seis álbumes con el sello Xanadu, incluyendo un álbum de composiciones originales, "From the Attic of My Mind".

El viaje musical de Sam y sus contribuciones al mundo del jazz están lejos de haber terminado. Desde 1987 hasta el presente, Sam, junto con el productor Fernando Gelbard de LiquidJazz.com, ha grabado cuatro álbumes, incluyendo "Solo Flute", un álbum con sólo Sam en la flauta alto.... ¡Tienes que verlo!
