Sam Comerford has made his way from Irish traditional music playing tin whistle and Irish flute to descovering love of the music of Charles Mingus which made him take up saxophone. Being surrounded by musicians such as Dave Douglas, Matana Roberts, Donny McCaslin and Drew Gress opened his mind to the possibilities of creative music.
