Sample, Joe
Carmel
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1979 Original. “Pianist Joe Sample Was A Pioneer At Creating Melodic And Accessible Pop-Jazz. His Recordings Of The 1970s And '80s Were Consistently Popular, Especially This Best-Seller. Sample Is Joined On Most Selections By Fellow Crusader Stix Hooper On Drums; Electric Bassist Abraham Laboriel; Percussionist Paulinho Da Costa; And, Often, Guitarist Dean Parks. Flutist Hubert Laws Guests On "Midnight And Mist." Although It Would Not Be Considered Creative Jazz, The Catchy And Often-Memorable Melodies, And Sample's Fine Playing, Makes This Album A Pretty Definitive Example Of His Solo Recordings.” Scott Yanow, All Music. Small Crease To Bottom Corner.
