SAM NOTO Born: Apr 17, 1930 in Buffalo, New York Sam Noto Genre: Jazz Active: '50s - '10'S Instruments: Trumpet,Flugelhorn, Biography An excellent bop soloist, Sam Noto's late-'70s recordings for Xanadu briefly gave him a high profile in the U.S. Best-known in his early days as a big band player, Noto was with Stan Kenton (1955-1958), Louie Bellson (1959), back with Kenton (1960), and twice with Count Basie during 1964-1967. He spent much of 1969-1975 working in Las Vegas where he became acquainted with Red Rodney. Rodney used Noto on a 1974 recording and, although he moved to Toronto in 1975 (where he worked in the studios and regularly with Rob McConnell's Boss Brass into the early '80s), Noto gained some fame for his many recordings with Xanadu. Although appearing on records less often after that, Sam Noto remained quite active in Toronto up until early 2000's and now lives in Fort Erie , Ontario closer to the home town of Buffalo where he plays the occasional gig there.
