As many of his smooth jazz contemporaries have done later in their careers, Sample approached this set of 10 originals in a way more attuned to bop than pop. With just a bass player (Jay Anderson), drummer (Ralph Penland) and an occasional cameo by Coltrane acolyte Charles Lloyd, this is a more intimate record than most of its predecessors, more like Bill Evans than Michael Franks. "Miles of Blue" swings nicely, the pensive "Angels of My Mind" beautifully highlights Sample's affinity for chordal melodies and "Hippies On A Corner" is a sly samba groove."As many of his smooth jazz contemporaries have done later in their careers, Sample approached this set of 10 originals in a way more attuned to bop than pop.
