Customer Rating: Summary: Joe Sample's Carmel takes you there Comment: Joe Sample's most beautiful album. I have never before and ever since heard anyone create such a vivid picture of the ocean, the sunrise, rainy days, sunrises. Joe's playing instantly takes you there. You feel the salty water spit into your face, you watch the sunrise, you can even hear the rain tickling the ocean's surface. The mist will enfold you, makes you tell your love that she/he looks more beautiful each day. What a marvel!

A must have for your collection. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent remastering of one of Joe Sample's very best Comment: Amongst Joe Sample fans, Carmel is possibly one of the favorite albums. The entire collection plays beautifully from the first song to the last, a remarkable tapestry of compositions capturing the life and the spirit of this breathtaking California coastline area. The melodies are memorable and beautifully performed, and this special edition does a wonderful job of bringing out the highs and lows, the different instrumental parts, giving the listener an incredible high quality listening experience compared to the regular edition. If you already love the Carmel album, it is most definitely worth the investment to get this edition into your collection!! Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful Contemporary Jazz ahead of its time Comment: If you've ever cruised the California coastline and experienced the breathtaking Monterey Bay are where Carmel thrives, you will truly appreciate how Joe has captured its essence and its spirit. Armed with spikey chord punches, impressionistic harmonies and storytelling melodies, the listener is taken on an exhilarating journey with support from backup musicians that lay down wonderful contemporary grooves while Joe spins his distinctive piano solo style. I love every tune on this album, especially the love song quality of "More Beautiful Each Day" and "Midnight and Mist". Also fun is the barrelhouse blues quality of "Cannery Row". I only wish the entire album was re-recorded with the modern digital technology of today, I believe it would sound even more remarkable! More Reviews
