Sammy is legendary for creating fascinating and highly rhythmic solos full of great emotional depth. His broad repertoire is generally drawn from material popularized prior to the 1950´s and consists of a hot mix of pop tunes, swing music, spirituals, blues, stomps and rags. Performances have been described as soundings reminiscent of everything from a turn of the century Crescent City dance hall to a 50´s Greenwich Village jazz club... and much of what came in between !
