Dom Salvador: the Pianist and Samba Funk Innovator Hidden in Plain Sight
In 1977, months after I recorded Dom Salvador's wonderful, one and only American jazz album (My Family, Muse Records MR 5985), Dom took a steady gig playing five nights a week at Brooklyn's River Café. Recently, the New York Times told the story of the man who invented Samba Funk, chucked it all for his passions to live in the city of his idol Thelonious Monk and become a jazz musician, only to think about the stability of his life and his family and find 40 years of musical satisfaction in other ways.
