April 27, 2025 • Various Artists • Season 2 • Episode 44

ALOHA! PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT WHAT I'M DOING 👍🏾 I APPRECIATE YOU!

IN THIS EPISODE, I’LL BE DOING SEVERAL THINGS. FIRSTLY, SHARING THE MUSIC OF TWO GREAT MUSICIANS AND ICONS - GEORGE DUKE AND JOE SAMPLE. WOW. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN. YES I’LL BE PLAYING MUSIC FROM JOE SAMPLE & GEORGE DUKE. THIS EPISODE IS MY DEDICATION TO THE #9 ENTRY INTO MY TOP 50 LISTING - I’LL BE FEATURING SEVERAL SONGS, MY FAVES FROM JOE SAMPLE’S 1989 RELEASE CALLED “SPELLBOUND” I’LL ALSO BE GIVING YOU A FEW SONGS FROM JOE SAMPLE WHEN HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE JAZZ GROUP, THE CRUSADERS, ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE JAZZ-SOUL GROUPS FROM THE 70’S AND 80’S. AND LASTLY I’LL BE GIVING YOU SOME SONGS FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE, FAVORITE ALL TIME GREATS, MR GEORGE DUKE. NOW WHAT I’M DOING WITH GEORGE DUKE IS SOMETHING UNIQUE AND INTERESTING. IM PLAYING GEORGE DUKE AND JOE SAMPLE BECAUSE IT WAS DUKE WHO PRODUCED SAMPLE’S 1997 LP TITLED ‘SAMPLE THIS.’ WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL IS, ALL THE SONGS ON ‘SAMPLE THIS’, WERE SONGS THAT JOE SAMPLE HAD PREVIOUSLY RECORDED. SO WHAT DID GEORGE DUKE AND SAMPLE DO? THEY GOT AN ALL-STAR ROSTER OF MUSICIANS AND THEY RE-DID THE SONGS, HENCE THE TITLE, ‘SAMPLE THIS’. IN MY OPINION, THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT BOTH DUKE AND SAMPLE EVER DID, BECAUSE EACH MUSICIAN IS A KEYBOARDIST/PIANIST, AND BOTH OF THEIR CHOPS AS MUSICIANS ARE EXTRAORDINARY.

BLAZE STREET MUSIC - MUSIC OF A LIFETIME, EPISODE #44, IM FEATURING ENTRY #9 ON MY LIST OF THE 50TH GREATEST RECORDS AND ALBUMS OF A LIFETIME - THE MUSIC OF JOE SAMPLE, LET'S GO!
