5 out of 5 stars Best of Joe Sample.......2005-10-07

Excellent CD and selection of songs. Joe Sample features a terrific beat and music easy to get into.

5 out of 5 stars Sample an American Treasure.......2005-04-18

I'm not a piano player but this music makes me want to learn. There something magic about the chords and rhythms Joe weaves throughout his music. The song Spellbound is an excellent example of this. It's what got me excited about getting into Joe's music after the many years since buying 'Carmel'. Summertime is one of the most haunting renditions I've heard. There's really so much to recommend.

If you don't have any of Mr Sample's recordings, this is an excellent one to get. Each song is absolute gold. Beautifully and subtley executed by stellar performers like Abraham Laboriel, Steve Gadd, Paulinho De Costa. Listen and enjoy an American Musical Treasure. This music can be a springboard into other projects by Joe Sample. A truely special collection.

4 out of 5 stars A Smooth Survey of Joe Sample's Distinctive Style.......2005-03-02

For those not familiar with Joe Sample's briiliant and distinctive keyboard style, this collection is a smoother
selection of his most popular compositions. I always prefer
the original albums that these selections were taken from,
and I highly recommend "Old Places, Old Faces" from which
"Black and White" and "Hippies on a Corner" were derived, for
his pared down and tasteful trio sound with bass and drums.
If you like the fully orchestrated strings effect, the
"Invitation" album is a gem, from which his interpretation
of "Summertime" was taken. "Ashes to Ashes", "Road Less
Travelled" are from his "Ashes to Ashes" album, which
is probably more smooth jazz than anything else he has
recorded. Street Life is priceless in its original
recording with the vocals of Randy Crawford, and can
be found on the Crusader's album of the same name,
after all, the group was partially founded by Joe Sample
and is indeed, the Joe Sample sound in its earlier making.
It's hard to please everyone on a collection album, because
the overall effect of the album is weakened in its attempt
to cover all the versatility of style of the artist.
But as a sampling of this keyboard master, I recommend
to those who want an introduction to his world. Don't
stop here, and check out "The Pecan Tree" while you are
at it, as well as "Rural Renewal" which is Joe Sample's
reunion album with the Crusaders. Down home meat and
potatoes bluesy R&B, great grooves!!

4 out of 5 stars one of the piano masters.......2005-02-09

I was familiar with most of the songs on this disc before I bought it, except Mystery Child, Summertime, and Black and White. I was especially moved by "Summertime" - Joe Sample plays it so beautifully with an excellent backing ensemble. Although these songs are all quite good, I'd recommend buying something other than "Best Of" because this is something pre-chosen for you, and you might like something better than "Best Of". There are very often overlooked pieces that don't make it to "Best Of" compilations, and this is certainly the case here. Try his Invitation disc.

5 out of 5 stars Cool, smooth,funky with class........2003-12-16

Its all about taste and recognition of great talent...this type of music is ideal for me especially on Sundays or lets say weekends....all of his music is 5 star rated.

            5 out of 5 stars Another fine addition to the series.......2001-02-13

            After a bit of a slip with the second, this series was back on track with this third CD of songs cut from well-known musicals. As I mentioned in a previous review, just about any successful musical has had songs cut from it, not always because the song wasn't good, but because it no longer fit the show as updated, or a character or scene was cut (the booklet explains why each song was removed from its show). Once again, the songs are all good and the performances are wonderful. My favorites are "Mama's Talking Soft" (cut from Gypsy), "Big Fat Heart" (Seesaw), "Your Own College Band" (Where's Charley?), "When I Go Out Walkin' with my Baby" (Oklahoma!), and "Pick Up the Pieces" (also Seesaw). Bruce Kimmel was smart in using show singers instead of pop singers. I recommend the entire series. This CD features some fine songs that deserve renewed appreciation.
