Not sure if anyone is familiar with Sam Butera—he was the sax player and arranger for Louis Prima and a GREAT live performer.
I was at a friends house last night playing him some rare Sam recordings , a 8 cd set of The Capitol Recordings, Louis Prima and Keely Smith live and studio recordings.
I did a google search for Sam this morning and was saddened to get this news——

Sam was one of the greatest musicians EVER! and will be sadly missed.

Scott,

Did you see Sam Butera in SF when he opened for Van? This was probably 8 years ago, or more maybe.

It was a great show, sorry to see him go.
