Sam T. Brown (January 19, 1939 – December 28, 1977) was a jazz guitarist.
Sam T. Brown's playing style was unusual in that he performed in a generally jazz-rock format, while performing in Keith Jarrett's ensembles that sometimes veered close to a free jazz style. His initial recording success included membership in the jazz rock group Ars Nova during the 1967-1969 period.
Brown's most noteworthy recorded performances were on recordings of Keith Jarrett (particularly, his "American band" with Dewey Redman); and Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra. On the Liberation Music Orchestra album he has a spotlighted performance on the 21 minute suite, "El Quinto Regimiento/Los Cuatro Generales/Viva la Quince Brigada."
He also performed as a session performer for popular artists as diverse as James Brown, Astrud Gilberto, Peter Allen and Barry Manilow.
