All the bristling energy of a first album - some nice inspired performances by all 3 of us in this collection of mostly classic jazz standards.
SAM CRAIN is a jazz guitarist and composer from Springfield, Illinois. His playing has a strong bebop streak, but also contains elements of R & B and other styles, with a lyrical edge all his own- imagine perhaps George-Benson-meets-Robert-Cray, or along that line..
THE SAM CRAIN TRIO, though not his first recording, is Sam's maiden album. At this juncture, he'd just finished a 3-year stint with the Frank Trompeter Quintet, the highlight of which was playing in Japan at the Ashikaga Jazz Festival(see bio a but further down)and was branching out with his own groups. Originally this recording was just meant to be a sort of self-demo, to hear back some of the material Sam was working on, but decided later to give it a try out in the 'open market'. Fortunately people have bought and enjoyed this recording. It is an early effort, but does have a sort of bristling energy that's a nice thing to hear in one's early efforts. You can hear the camaraderie as well between the players when listening.
Sam is currently playing with his own group, The Sam Crain Quartet and freelancing with various groups in the area.
