Title: Sample - everything!!!
Review: This CD(album) is totally like no other. By listening to this collection of soulful jazz, along with great vocals by Al Jarreau and Michael Franks, JOE SAMPLE can do no wrong. I never heard of him until I found out he worked with SIMPLY RED(Mick Hucknull) on their NEW FLAME album.Believe it or not, Joe's album was released in March of 1989 and Simply Red's was released in April of 1989--quite a venue with these 2 GREAT albums around the same time.In fact, Sample's style blends perfectly with Simply Red's and vice-versa. But SPELLBOUND is just that, spellbinding--fresh, crisp, smooth and free as a breeze(GEORGE BENSON?) His piano can fly through anycomposition and/or style of music. Also, U-TURN is an excellent romanticpiece of piano, strings and beautiful vocals. Either way, this CD canbring you to any place you wish to go. A real gem!!!
