Joe Sample - Carmel (1979/2015) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

One of three best-selling albums recorded by pianist Joe Sample in the late 1970s and early 1980s, "Carmel" is considered among his finest recordings. A tribute to the artistic community of Carmel, Califonia and the Monterey Peninsula, Sample brings the natural beauty of that area to life with this music.

Pianist Joe Sample is a pioneer at creating melodic and accessible pop-jazz. His recordings of the 1970s and '80s were consistently popular, especially this best-seller. Sample is joined on most selections by fellow Crusader Stix Hooper on drums, electric bassist Abraham Laboriel, percussionist Paulinho Da Costa, and, often, guitarist Dean Parks. Flutist Hubert Laws guests on "Midnight and Mist." The memorable melodies, clean harmonics, and Sample's fine playing make Carmel a high point among his solo recordings.
