Customer Reviews:

Excellent Smooth Jazz Compilation and Great Sound Quality!.......2005-11-11

I took a risk getting this album as I had never heard of Joe Sample before but I knew that I would be getting good sound quality from a GRP recording and boy was I pleasantly surprised! This album comes from a digital master and hasn't been remastered but sounds a lot better than many of the so-called remastered cds that are out there. Also, I've discovered just how good Joe's playing is and this is one of my favourite smooth jazz albums in my collection. Highly recommended and I'm glad I stumbled across this gem!

Classic Collection.......2005-05-15

Joe Sample is My All time Favorite Keyboard player.He signature sound&Groove is timeless to me.this Collection showcases His Genius&the way he works chords with His Rich Arrangements.I ain't even talking about his Classic Material with the Crusaders.this is a Must have Collection for the Joe Sample Fan.

Best of the 70s.......2004-04-22

This compilation of the some of the best tracks of Joe Sample's career (at least as of 1978) greatly show the expanse of his repetoire. His usage of construction, complexity of chords, heavy-handedness (a staple for Sample), and masterful improvisation are shown ten fold in this CD. "Night Flight," "Carmel," and "Rainbow Seeker" (songs one would instantly consider upon hearing Joe's great name) are of course in this collection. These are reason enough to purchase the CD. Along with other favorites of the past like "Oasis" and "Burning Up the Carnival," the casual listener will fall in love and try to play catch up with the brilliant artist with a nearly 50 year career. When your career lasts this long, you have to be good. Here are some of the examples.

joe sample........genius!.......2004-01-14

Joe Sample has quite simply made some of the best jazz ever alone and, as well as with "The Crusaders". This CD just doesnt cover the extended versions of these, especially "Night Flight".
This has to be indeed the best jazz instrumental song he made during the 80's. There was plenty room left on the CD for more.
But for the music of Joe, I'll take what i can get.
