Praise for Sam Baum
It’s a joy to witness the activities of SAM involving musicians and audiences with special needs. I love seeing the enthusiasm of Sam Baum and his wonderful colleagues playing music. It's a lesson of life for everyone.
–Fred Hersch
This music harkens back, melodically and harmonically, to another era — the ’30s and ’40s. I hear Monk. I hear Horace Silver. In some of the Latin-oriented pieces, I hear Pérez Prado.
