The Recording Academy Statement re: Med Flory

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Recording Academy) GRAMMY winner Med Flory was a multitalented individual who thrived in two creatively demanding pursuits: music and acting. He learned to play music at a young age, and as an alto saxophonist and clarinetist, he was deeply influenced by classic bebop, most notably The Music of Charlie Parker. Flory's approach to his own music reflected his reverence for Parker's sound, ultimately leading him and bassist Buddy Clark to form the successful jazz group Supersax, whose recordings and live performances enjoyed critical and commercial success. The entertainment industry has lost a unique renaissance man, and his work in music and acting will live on to inspire future generations. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family, his friends, and all who had the pleasure of working with him.
