No one played quite like Joe Sample. He had a unique way of melding the Jazz with Rhythm & Blues; all the while maintaining a high level of Soul and sensitivity. You are missed, yet always remembered fondly. Rest peacefully.
Amazing. The energy that goes into playing Carmel just blows my mind. Another great performance by the master of the ivories. Thank you. RIP my brother. A life well lived.

Exchanged wonderful. Conversations with his family. Omy. Three mostly. Great. Night. A converted. Bank. Which. Bonnie and clyde robbed. Omg.
2024 Still the Jam! Can’t play an instrument or read a note, but my soul rejoices when I hear great music. Been listening to the Crusaders / Mr Joe Sample for 40 yrs. He left us much too soon.
Regrettably, some of us were too young, musically undereducated, and mostly unaware of the phenomenal talent that existed in the jazz, fusion, smooth-jazz world back then. We let Joe Sample and the C's perform like this and not witness it as fans while blissfully unaware. What a shame.
My late uncle and dad put me on to The Crusaders and Joe Sample. Most jazz critics would say The Crusaders were pioneers in their own right into fusion jazz. Legendary performers. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Joe Sample and the crusaders are the end bosses. Joe Sample is my idol. He is a force to be reckoned with. The bass and drums added the perfect accompaniment. There's something magical about this tune. Truly legends, never to be forgotten.
I heard the voice of Joe Sample from the acoustic piano recording mic most of my life in most solo records, and to me it keeps me connected with his energy . Since a little kid i thought the piano could speak depends on the player ,Isn't that funny ? We miss you Joe, Texan piano ranger !
Best i have heard after Oscar Peterson and that's the ultimate compliment, words seem so inadequate in describing genius, just listen and be grateful you were alive to hear it.
Videos of JS actually playing seem rare. This video stays on JS and shows how much goes into flying a Steinway. Who will fly Steinways now? An awesome video. Thanks Jazz on MV
JoeZilla! I love the Yamaha logo is taped over. Bass player is doing a bit of overplay I think, but drummer is killing it, but I want Stix Hooper! I love when the vet players are getting some grey mixed in: old enough to know better, young enough to still burn it.
Also great camera work showing his finger work on the keyboard. Too many music videos show the back of musicians heads or cut away too many times. Newport Jazz Festival had it together.
I'll go out on a limb here, but not really. Joe Sample was the best pianist to ever play. Show me someone that could cover what he just played and I'm sure there is no one, yet he could easily cover anyone else's music and add something amazing to it. I know that's a subjective statement, but the proof is in the pudding.
Joe sample is one of the greats. But he joins a class of prolific piano composers. crusaders his in the 70s and went smooth jazz in the 80s so he has commercial appeal. But in the depths of jazzfunk that are technically proficient.
@@tonymountifield Very nice, it's good to know that someone took the time to learn timeless music. Thanks for the link. I'll have to watch more of this artist.
