Sam Paglia @ Jazz Tunel

Sam Paglia was born on 4th July 1971, while at the local cinema "Shaft" was been shown. He was born under "Shaft" sign. He began to play piano by ear at the age of 8. Surrounded by hundreds of records (the father was a collector of country, blues, jazz and rock 'n roll ), Sam just played on the keyboard any music he would listen to. Even Giuseppe Verdi's opera influenced him a lot."I loved the early genius of piano such as James P. Johnson and Jelly Roll Morton, they just drove me crazy!", he recalls. ...In 2000 the sax player Alex Scala joins the group and the sound takes a soul-jazz direction .In 2002 Sam leaves Irma records and produced another album for an independent label called Cinedelic. The new album "Killer ChaChaCha" came out in 2003. It's a soul-funk album in which Sam does covers of Lalo Schifrin's "The Liquidator","Bullitt","Room 26" and "Sanford &Son" by Quincy Jones. ...
