[jazz_guitar] Guitarist Sam Brown
ralphpatt
to post but realized I don't have any of his
jazz recordings. I did find this track that Sam recorded
at my house on a ten string Jose Rubio classic guitar
that he was trying out. It gives an idea of how good
a guitarist he was.
At this time (1962) he was with singer Miriam Makeba and playing
a lot of classical style guitar.
Later he worked with Gary Burton. He met a tragic
death in New York about 1977.
Probably this track won't be for everyone but I'd like
everyone to at least hear something of his.

Sam was an excellent all around guitarist as well as being a
very good jazz player. He took Kenny Burrell's place in the
New York musical Bye Bye Birdie before taking the job with
Makeba. Sam was a really good guy and great friend.
Sometimes life is not fair.

Thanks so much. I heard Sam Brown on an old record with Keith Jarrett
and Gary Burton (many of the tunes contained in that album are in the
Real Book), and later in some other albums (with Paul Motian, Keith
Jarrett, Liberation Music Orchestra).
I know he died, but never knew what happened to him, and looking for
info about him, i never found anything.
I thing he was one of the pioneers of fusion guitar

Just wondering if you could tell a young guy about what
technology was available to record at home in 1962.
Reel to reel?

I still have a role of wire that I would like to convert if anyone has one of those
dinosaurs.
In 1955, I had a Wollensak recorder that my wife used to record radio
broadcasts from clubs like Birdland (the Symphony Sid Show) and the many
hotels that broadcast live air shots of bands, usually after midnight. Later,
I converted the tapes to CDs. It's surprising what you can do with those
tapes and a program like Sound Forge.
About 1962 or so I had a "sound on sound" tape machine that enabled you
to put down a track and then add a second track on the other channel.
Primitive by today's equipment.
The first stereo recordings became common in the New York studios about 1958
or so. The first 8 track studio machine that I recall was about 1966.
I'm sure someone can give you a better description of what was available then.
I spent my money on guitars... not recording equipment

Not fair at all, indeed...
Never heard Sam Brown playing straight ahead jazz, but his presence
on those albums was pretty interesting
