Sample that....
You have probably heard Joe Sample and the Crusaders; however, "Spellbound" is nothing like it.
Much better; it is probably Sample's finest recording until this date.
Joined by Al Jarreau and Michael Franks on Vocals; Omar Hakim on Drums and Marcus Miller on Bass; JS delivers a distinctive and amazing groovy Crossover, Soul Jazz album.
How wrong can you be adding this CD to your collection?
Highly recommended.

One word...Awesome!!
This CD is great from start to finish. The title track and his collaboration with Al Jareau on "Somehow our love suvives" is just too good to turn off. Take 6 gives a wonderful vocal assist with the track, "U-turn" and the same can be said for Michael Franks collaboration on "Leading me back to you". But it's the magic keyboard playing of Sample that you will not soon forget. Buy it..Enjoy it!!

Joe Sample & Take 6--What A Combination!
When I first purchased this project in 1989, it was around the time "Take 6" wowed several segments of music (Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Pop, etc.) with their first release titled the same (Take 6).

These young men sounded FANTASTIC all alone (it is said voice is the best instrument), but to combine them with the tantalizing tones of Joe Sample on the song "U Turn" is an endless treat!

Another favorite is "Somehow Our Love Survives" with Al Jarreau.
He's another who utilizes his "instrument" of voice delightfully.

Joe, "U Turn" me on with your enchanting piano!
