Sammy Herman at his Deagan.


Partial Discography
ViS 20558 Herman, Sam (Xylophone): Al Fresco/Mighty Lak' A Rose
This was Herman's first recording, on a Scroll "Batwing" Victor.



Regarding Mr. Herman's biography, I really don't think there's much I can add to James A. Strain's and Sgt. Dana Kimble's tribute to Sammy Herman written for Herman's induction into the PAS Hall Of Fame!



LEFT: A gaggle of Herman xylophone solos, published in folio form.

RIGHT: Two examples of published Herman xylophone solos with piano accompaniment. Was Mr. Herman guilty of having only one publicity shot to his name, as appears to have been the case with Mr. Harry Breuer?



If you have any further information about Mr. Herman, or any other vintage percussionist, please don't hesitate to leave said information in our Guestbook.
