Joe Sample Trio - Estival Jazz - Lugano, Switzerland 9-07-2005



Leslie "Joe" Sample (born February 1, 1939 in Houston, Texas) is an American pianist, keyboard player and composer. He was one of the founding members of the Jazz Crusaders, the band which became simply The Crusaders in 1971, and remained a part of the group until its final album in 1991.
Sample played the piano since he was five years old. Since the late 1980s, he has enjoyed a successful solo career and has guested on many recordings by other performers and groups, including Miles Davis, George Benson, Jimmy Witherspoon, B.B. King and Steely Dan. Although it received less radio airplay than several of his other releases, many consider Invitation to be his finest solo recording to date. On this concert Randy Crawford is a special guest and perform her popular hits like "Street Life" One Day I'll Fly Away, Rio de Janiero Blues and more. Along with him are Adam Nassbaum - on drums and Jay Anderson on bass. 1 full hour of Joe Sample's swingin' jazz....
