*** New Transcriptions ***
There are 3 new transcriptions to download thanks to Patricio Bottcher, a Sam Most fan, from Buenos Aires. He has shared Sam's flute solo on "P.C.", his clarinet solo on "Am I Blue" and his tenor solo on "Leaving." Thanks Patricio!!!
Sam Most's very last recording, featuring all new compositions from the multi-talented Carl Saunders, was recorded and finished just a month prior to Most's passing on June 13, 2013. One of the most beloved figures in
jazz, best known for being a pioneering jazz flute soloist. Full of spirit, with catchy toe-tapping originals that include Sam scatting
perfectly, this is really great stuff!
