Four Classic Albums (I'm Nuts About The Most...Sam That Is! / Musically Yours / Plays Bird, Bud, Monk & Miles / The Amazing Mr Sam Most)
[ Avid / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 12 May 2017
Possibly a new name to some jazz fans, but our next hero, Sam Most was considered by no less an authority than Leonard Feather to be "the first great jazz flutist". Sam Most had been primarily a tenor sax man before taking up the clarinet and then the flute in his early career. For a time he pretty much had the flute field to himself, playing alongside Tommy Dorsey and Don Redman in the late 1940's before appearing and recording for labels such as Prestige, Debut, Vanguard and Bethlehem in the early 1950's. Possibly because he later became a studio musician and disappeared into the background somewhat, Sam Most is not thought of in the same breath as fellow flutists like Herbie Mann or Yusef Lateef who remained out there leading their own bands way beyond the jazz heyday of the 1950's and 60's. However take a listen to these fine albums and you will discover a great player at the top of his game.
