Pianist
Joe Sample's Warner Bros. session mostly features relaxed acoustic music.
Sample emphasizes his original melodies during his improvisations and is backed quite ably by bassist
Jay Anderson, drummer
Ralph Penland and an occasional percussionist. Most notable is that tenor saxophonist
Charles Lloyd guests on three tracks, playing in his usual mellow version of
John Coltrane. But in general this is a relaxing trio set, not overly memorable but relatively quite pleasing. ~ Scott Yanow
