On
Saturday, April 3rd, 2003 at 8PM & 10:30PM, the Inter-Media
Art Center (IMAC) in Huntington, Long Island will present
a concert with contemporary jazz/fusion keyboardist and founding
member of the ground- breaking fusion ensemble The Crusaders,
JOE SAMPLE.
Joe
Sample has entertained for more than four decades, first as
a founding member of the ground-breaking fusion ensemble The
Crusaders, and since the late 70’s, as a popular solo
contemporary jazz artist. Sample began playing piano at age
five and rooted himself in many different musical genres including
gospel, soul, bebop, blues, Latin and classical music. Like
many jazzman of his time, Sample started out playing hard
bop, but went electric during the fusion era.
Along
with trombonist Wayne Henderson, tenor saxophonist Wilton
Felder and drummer Stix Hooper, Joe Sample launched The Jazz
Crusaders in the late 50’s. Joe Sample focused on the
acoustic piano during The Crusader’s early years, but
placed greater emphasis on electric keyboards when the band
turned to jazz/funk in the early 70’s and dropped the
“Jazz” from its name. His recordings include Carmel,
Voices in the Rain, Ashes to Ashes, Invitation, Old Places
Old Faces, and of course, the George Duke produced Sample
This. His newest release is The Pecan Tree.
