Review
Sam is the man of soft tones: He seldom brings his organ into the foreground with impulsive eruptions, but astonishingly the organ is present, with just aspirated clusters or structered runs. All in all his music sometimes keeps a bit colourless. Sam's style oscillates between a funky organ like that of McDuff and a freely developped like that of Larry Young.
 
Thanks to Ryon Kisor and Eric Alexander who give this CD a vivid tinge.
