Sam
started his impressive blues and jazz career in the early 60s. With the
influences of Little Richard and Ray Charles—Jerry Lee Lewis being the one
to ignite his passion—Sam started his career touring with names like Del
Shannon and The Duprees.
Sam bought his first Hammond B3 organ in 1965 and after
studying theory and harmony at Grand View College, he made his move to jazz.
Since those days Salomone has toured from Coast to Coast and within the
Midwest including Chicago and Kansas City, but has in recent years decided to
stay closer to home.
His work in Iowa has not gone without notice. Sam was
inducted to the Iowa Jazz Hall of Fame in 2001 as well as the
Iowa Blues Hall
of Fame in January of 2002. MORE about Sam>
