Post Description

Joe Sample's debut solo album from 1978. "Rainbow Seeker" features support from his Crusaders bandmates "Stix" Hooper, Wilton Felder, and bassist Robert "Pops" Popwell, but has it's own unique character apart from The Crusaders records. Every track on this album is great including "In All My Wildest Dreams", "There Are Many Stops Along The Way", "Melodies Of Love", and "Fly With The Wings Of Love". Sample has made other excellent albums, including the 1979 follow up "Carmel", but this one is one of the absolute best of the genre. A contemporary jazz masterpiece. ~ Jeffrey Harris
