Sample,Joe Rainbow Seeker / Carmel / Voices In The Rain CD

Two CDs containing three albums by the jazz great. Joe Sample recorded his debut solo LP Rainbow Seeker in 1978. The stand out tracks were the title track and the pulsating Latin Groove of 'There Are Many Stops Along The Way' which also features Ray Parker Jr on guitar. Carmel was released later that same year and featured a more relaxed sound. The final album in this trilogy, Voices In The Rain features 'Burnin' Up The Carnival' arguably Sample's best known solo track, with vocals by Josie James, Flora Purim and Pauline Wilson. The package also features three seven-inch single versions of 'Melodies Of Love', 'Burnin' Up The Carnival' and 'Dream Of Dreams' with sleeve notes by Charles Waring of MOJO and Record Collector.
