Joe Sample's smooth charm
Titled Hunter, it's a perfect balance of fusion and R&B.
This 1983 album, a solo work by Sample, best known for his work with The Crusaders, showcases his multifaceted talent. It beautifully blends his virtuosity as a jazz pianist with his pop melody sense. The title track displays the musical acuity and sensitivity of a hunter. It's a sophisticated album that epitomizes contemporary jazz in the '80s.
