Longtime Jazz Crusaders pianist Joe Sample has passed at age 75. He has been in poor health for some time. What an incredibly talented, classy, professional, kind gentleman, who cranked out great music for almost five decades with a wonderful group. He started out as a zydeco player (formed the Creole Joe band in the last couple of years to get back to that idiom), and dabbled in bop as well. Loved me some Crusaders through the years! Please give this infectious, happy song a listen in memory of another giant gone. For my two cents, sir, you will ALWAYS be on Rodeo Drive, high steppin. God rest you, Mr. Sample! youtube/watch?v=EqlupzmJ0_I
