Sam Most • I'm Nuts About the Most: East Coast Jazz Series, Vol. 9

 



Biography by Scott Yanow
One of the first great jazz flutists, a cool-toned tenor, and a fine (if infrequent) clarinetist, Sam Most was the younger brother of clarinetist Abe Most. He picked up early experience playing with the orchestras of Tommy Dorsey (1948), Boyd Raeburn, and Don Redman. By the time he led his first session (1953), Most was a brilliant flutist (among the first to sing through his flute) and he briefly had the jazz field to himself. Most recorded fine sessions for Prestige, Debut (reissued on Xanadu), Vanguard, and Bethlehem during 1953-1958, doubling on clarinet. He also worked in different settings with Chris Connor, Paul Quinichette, and Teddy Wilson. After playing with Buddy Rich's Orchestra (1959-1961), he moved to Los Angeles and became a studio musician. Sam Most worked with Red Norvo and Louie Bellson, gained some new prominence with his Xanadu recordings of 1976-1979, and became a local fixture in Los Angeles, sometimes playing in clubs with his brother. Most died of cancer in June 2013; he was 82 years old.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Uno de los primeros grandes flautistas de jazz, un tenor de tono fresco y un fino (aunque poco frecuente) clarinetista, Sam Most era el hermano menor del clarinetista Abe Most. Adquirió una temprana experiencia tocando con las orquestas de Tommy Dorsey (1948), Boyd Raeburn y Don Redman. Cuando dirigió su primera sesión (1953), Most era un flautista brillante (entre los primeros en cantar con su flauta) y tuvo brevemente el campo del jazz para sí mismo. Most grabó buenas sesiones para Prestige, Debut (reeditado en Xanadu), Vanguard y Bethlehem durante 1953-1958, doblando en clarinete. También trabajó en diferentes escenarios con Chris Connor, Paul Quinichette y Teddy Wilson. Después de tocar con la Buddy Rich's Orchestra (1959-1961), se trasladó a Los Ángeles y se convirtió en músico de estudio. Sam Most trabajó con Red Norvo y Louie Bellson, adquirió nueva prominencia con sus grabaciones de Xanadú de 1976-1979, y se convirtió en un fijo local en Los Ángeles, a veces tocando en clubes con su hermano. La mayoría murió de cáncer en junio de 2013; tenía 82 años.
