Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Sarah Samuels, Dave Samuels' daughter, has reported, via Facebook, that Dave has died. Although I was never a huge Spyro Gyra fan, I heard it quite a bit during my college years as one of my friends was into them. https://jazztimes.com/news/dave-samuels-1948-2019/ Edited April 24, 2019 by Kevin Bresnahan Quote
mikeweil Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 I'm shocked. He was 70 years of age. I saw him perform with Double Image, the band with his mallet buddy David Friedman, and he always looked younger than his age. R.I.P. Quote
GA Russell Posted April 23, 2019 Report Posted April 23, 2019 RIP. Did he make an album with Mark Murphy? Quote
Justin V Posted April 24, 2019 Report Posted April 24, 2019 I have some of his sideman work and particularly like Joe Beck's Journey. Thank you for the music, Mr. Samuels, and rest in peace. Quote

GA Russell Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Thanks, Mike. I was thinking he may have been on Mark Murphy Sings, Murphy's third Muse album. Quote
sonnymax Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Although he's not my favorite vibist, I enjoy Samuels' contributions to these albums: On 4/23/2019 at 2:16 PM, GA Russell said: RIP. Did he make an album with Mark Murphy? Perhaps you were thinking of his appearance with this singer? Quote
sonnymax Posted April 26, 2019 Report Posted April 26, 2019 Right? Heck, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. Quote
