Samuel "Savoirfaire" Williams is an internationally known Jazz Violin Legend. Born and raised in Chicago IL. , Samuel is a classically trained Violinist who grew up in Churches improvising to Gospel Hymns and South Side blues themes. Samuel has carved out a niche as a Chicago Avant Guardist, having been voted into the Internationally Acclaimed Elite Jazz Organization AACM.

Because of this affinity for ubiquity he is known as Savoirfaire nicknamed after a Cartoon Mouse in the Klondike cat Series. If that wasn't enough to add to the Lore of the “Artist” Samuel has continued to "Busk” (Public Service through Public Art Performance). Samuel may be seen busking at O'Hare Airport, or on Michigan ave near prominent Chicago Landmarks.
