************************************

I met Sam the summer of 2005 when he was sixteen years old. I was a first time attendee at a remarkable institution called âJazz Camp Westâ set in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California. During an acoustic concert primarily of camp faculty, I heard a tall lanky teenage kid play an original composition on vibes. I was overwhelmed by the dexterity and taste of the performer, the sophistication of the piece (âSummer Victory Danceâ), and the emotional depth of his material. I learned during the year that Sam has a wealth of material equally inspiring.

The tracks on this, his debut CD, were recorded over three days during the summer of 2006 and feature a wonderful array of talented performers, some as young as sixteen. A 2006 graduate of Berkeley High Schoolâs renowned music program, Sam now attends New York University. It is an honor to have produced this CD, the first jazz project for Sting A Bee Back Records. I know you will enjoy it.
