Sam Brown (January 19, 1939 – December 27, 1977) was an American jazz guitarist.

History

Sam T. Brown's playing style was unusual in that he performed in a generally jazz-rock format, while performing in Keith Jarrett's ensembles that sometimes veered close to a free jazz style.[1] His initial recording success included membership of the jazz rock group Ars Nova during the 1967-1969 period.

Brown's most noteworthy recorded performances were on recordings of Keith Jarrett (particularly, his "American band" with Dewey Redman); and Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra. On the Liberation Music Orchestra album, he is featured prominently on the 21-minute suite, "El Quinto Regimiento/Los Cuatro Generales/Viva la Quince Brigada".[2]

He also performed as a session musician for popular artists as diverse as James Brown, Astrud Gilberto, Peter Allen , Country Joe McDonald and Barry Manilow.
