about

Single No. 1 from Sam's upcoming album, 'Knight Life'.

‘Knight Life’ humorously commemorates Sam's nightly bursts of inspiration, a practice embedded during his time at Chetham’s School of Music. Around 11pm, a surge of creativity routinely propelled him into productive late-night sessions, ensuring no idea would vanish with sleep.
Post-college, Sam attempted to channel his creative energy into the morning hours, hoping to align it with his work commitments and alleviate sleep deprivation. However, his true artistic energy stubbornly thrived at night.

Beneath its surface, ‘Knight Life’ also mirrors Sam's tenor saxophone-infused journey since 2009. While his influences encompass saxophonists like Coltrane, Brecker, and Chris Potter, it was during a 3am session, after immersing himself in several records by Seamus Blake, that Sam began weaving this song. Seamus's distinctive style and sound, which bounced and echoed through his head, inevitably left its mark on Sam's creative process.

In a serendipitous turn of events, Sam extended an invitation to Seamus Blake to lend his artistry to "Knight Life,” culminating in a pivotal juncture that intertwined Sam's tenor sax-centric narrative with Seamus's expertise. The title adeptly captures Sam's nightly inspirations while celebrating his saxophone-drenched life.
