1	The Best of Joe Sample (1998) more music like this by Joe Sample The Best of Joe Sample is an effective introduction to his popular recordings for Warner Brothers. Since it's designed for a casual fan, the collection contains no surprises -- there aren't any unreleased items, only numbers like "Chain Reaction," "Hippies on a Corner," "Summertime," and "Black and White (As Simple as That)," which will be exactly ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.11!
2	Street Life (1979) more music like this by The Crusaders Although the Crusaders could not have known it at the time, their recording of "Street Life" (which features a memorable vocal by Randy Crawford) was a last hurrah for the 20-year old group. Their recordings of the next few years would decline in interest until the band gradually faded away in the '80s. However this particular set is well worth ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $7.95!
3	The Song Lives On (1999) more music like this by Joe Sample & Lalah Hathaway The daughter of the popular late R&B singer Donny, husky voiced Lalah Hathaway is the perfect foil for Joe Sample's compelling notion that The Song Lives On. Finding a happy medium between the graceful straight-ahead jazz trio vibe of his Invitation album and the plucky pop energy of Spellbound, Sample provides Hathaway on seven of the 11 tunes ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $15.06!
4	Back from the 80's (2007) more music like this by U-Nam Because this vibrant, super funky Parisian born and based guitarist (real name, Emmanuel Abiteboul) was born in 1970, it's likely he didn't hear some of the classic songs he's covering here -- and drawing inspiration from for the exciting originals -- until the next decade. But from the big horn opening, the disco-fied thump and old-school ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $10.99!
5	Best of the Crusaders [Universal] (2000) more music like this by The Crusaders see all copies from $12.00! new only from $13.34!
6	Hoodlum [Original Soundtrack] (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The decade of the 1990s was rarely kind to Elmer Bernstein, but the little-known Hoodlum is one of his last great film scores, embracing the composer's past genre efforts from mystery to westerns to create a work of tough-minded elegance. With its noir-inspired saxophones and nimble pianos, the music possesses the jazzy sophistication one ... see all copies from $1.99!
7	Priceless Jazz (1998) more music like this by The Crusaders Priceless Jazz is a good midline sampler of highlights from the Crusaders' recordings for MCA and GRP. Although this isn't a definitive collection, it offers representative material to make this a good introduction to these recordings for curious listeners on a budget. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.28! new only from $5.28!
8	Sample This (1997) more music like this by Joe Sample In case anyone has forgotten how ingratiating and prolific Joe Sample the songwriter has been, the master of elegant funk re-records 14 songs here. And it is a cooler, more reflective light in which Sample and producer George Duke see his old tunes in the '90s: with relaxed, uncomplicated, to-the-point acoustic piano leads; a mildly percolating ... see all copies from $4.00!
9	Royal Jam (1982) more music like this by The Crusaders With B.B. King Around this time in their heyday, the Crusaders were experimenting with orchestral/jazz fusions in concert -- and MCA thought enough of them to capture the music in London's Royal Festival Hall one fine summer. Crusader pianist/sparkplug Joe Sample evidently arranged and orchestrated all of the Royal Philharmonic's parts himself, not necessarily ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $15.20!
10	Old School Soul Party (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Another entry in Shout! Factory's ongoing series of triple-CD box compilations promoted on PBS, this one is more cohesively presented. Sequenced to flow like a typical party, the discs of this predominantly '70s-era 58-track R&B collection are divided into three connected parts. Starting with the high-energy sounds of Wild Cherry's one-hit wonder ... see all copies from $42.58! new only from $42.58!
11 view cover	Best of Randy Crawford (1996) more music like this by Randy Crawford The Best of Randy Crawford highlights her jazzy urban R&B hits, including "Street Life," "Give Me the Night," and the Al Jarreau duet "Your Precious Love," among many others. Nearly all of her finest moments are included, making the compilation the perfect introduction to Crawford's career. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.96! new only from $7.88!
12 view cover	The Crusaders' Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by The Crusaders After a career that spanned the '60s with a number of releases on Pacific Jazz records as the Jazz Crusaders, the beginning of the '70s found the band dropping the jazz moniker from their name and moving toward the more commercially accessible pop/R&B crossover audience. These nine selections are taken from seven albums originally released on the ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	Island Grooves: Jamboree & Ivory and Steel (2000) more music like this by Monty Alexander Monty Alexander's Ivory and Steel combines soulful, hard-bopping jazz with Jamaican calypsos and West Indian grooves to forge a highly original two-CD set titled Island Grooves. Disc one, originally released as Ivory & Steel in 1980, contains nine songs including two written by the pianist. The classic Nat Adderley standard "Work Song" gets the ... see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
14 view cover	Groove Crusade (2003) more music like this by The Crusaders Groove Crusade is a smoking little sampling of the Crusaders recordings from 1970-1979. It is a compilation of tunes assembled from the beginning of the period where they dropped the word "Jazz" from the front of their name as a reaction to the harsh words the band received from jazz critics throughout the 1960s. Long before the tracks on this ... see all copies from $3.52! new only from $10.29!
15 view cover	It's a Beautiful Thing (1999) more music like this by Keith Murray Keith Murray may have a distinctive rapping style, but that doesn't necessarily make for distinctive albums if his third album, It's a Beautiful Thing, is any indication. It's no coincidence that the title recalls Murray's high-water mark, "The Most Beautifullest Thing in the World" -- the entire album is a self-conscious attempt to return to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.38!
16 view cover	Vocal Album (1979) more music like this by The Crusaders Funny, we can't remember this many singers turning up on the Crusaders' albums, but look a little closer at the liner. For this 1987 compilation -- designed, perhaps, to fill the gap between albums by a group that no longer was a full-time act -- MCA reached for records by B.B. King, Tina Turner, Joe Sample and Wilton Felder that various Crusaders ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.48!
17 view cover	Hollywood Cool (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.64! new only from $17.64!
18 view cover	Essential Guide to...Jazz (2007) more music like this by Various Artists The Essential Guide to...Jazz takes on quite a challenge with that title -- and loses: can a three-disc set truly capture the essence of jazz? Well, no, and presumably the compilers of this U.K. set knew that going in. But calling this an essential anything while devoting the entire second disc to smooth jazz, starting off with the execrable faux ... see all copies from $17.20! new only from $17.20!
19 view cover	Way Back Home (1996) more music like this by The Crusaders The music on this four-CD box set is mostly excellent, and this is not a bad sampler of the recordings of the (Jazz) Crusaders, but there are some problems. The 1961-70 group is covered much too quickly in the first disc, and the last two discs jump around chronologically throughout the '70s. The lack of recording dates is rather inexcusable, and ... see all copies from $53.26! new only from $53.26!
20 view cover	Sax at Midnight [Solid Gold] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists This budget collection on the Solid Gold label is a hodgepodge of 30 seemingly unrelated tracks, ranging from standards to Burt Bacharach and Coldplay! The music on Sax at Midnight is as generic as the packaging, making this set nothing more than mediocre background music. It's advisable to skip this lemon and pick up a quality compilation on a ... see all copies from $15.42! new only from $15.42!
21 view cover	Best of Randy Crawford & Friends [#1] (2000) more music like this by Randy Crawford This import 16-song anthology contains some great tracks, but it doesn't come cheap. A near 30-dollar price tag will deter some would-be buyers in another direction. Patrice Rushen, the Crusaders, and others accompany Crawford on memorables like "Knocking on Heaven's Door," "Street Life," "Forget Me Nots," and shimmering versions of Rose Royce's ... see all copies from $22.99!
22 view cover	The Golden Years (1992) more music like this by The Crusaders Issued in 1992, the first of GRP's Crusaders boxes deliberately limits its reach to a 20-year stretch, stopping just before the crucial departure of drummer Stix Hooper -- hence the arguably apt title The Golden Years. The three discs occasionally give us a good idea of the band's evolution from a fine Texas bop outfit to the soulful ... see all copies from $24.96!
23 view cover	Classics, Vol. 20 (1987) more music like this by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass This set features Alpert's solo hits from "This Guy's in Love with You" to "Rise." Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $23.98!
24 view cover	Back from the 80s [Bonus CD] (2007) more music like this by U-Nam Because this vibrant, super funky Parisian born and based guitarist (real name, Emmanuel Abiteboul) was born in 1970, it's likely he didn't hear some of the classic songs he's covering here -- and drawing inspiration from for the exciting originals -- until the next decade. But from the big horn opening, the disco-fied thump and old-school ... see all copies from $23.72! new only from $32.91!
25 view cover	Telepath (2006) more music like this by Pyramid see all copies from $17.16! new only from $17.16!
