Joe Sample Ashes to Ashes

B "After all, Mozart wrote mood music, too."
3 Stars - Good "As always, Sample's generosity of writing allows other instruments to entwine themselves with his own ivory- tickling, to create vivid patterns."
Stereo Review (4/91) - Performance "Easy listening" / Recording "Good" - "Sample is a simplifier, presenting well-crafted but hummable and danceable songs that retain some of the feeling and flavor of jazz without its intellectual demands...consistently appealing and carefully crafted music with a sometimes poignant edge."
