Joe Sample — The Rainbow Seeker
I’m happy to lead you to Joe Sample interviews, (I recommend that watch them all.) Joe, as a personality had ‘It”. His albums are the most played by me, He shares my music repertoire with Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Abbey Lincoln, Carmen McRae, Teddy Pendergrass, Bill Withers, Donny Hathaway, Patti LaBelle, Jesseye Norman, Phyllis Hyman, Randy Crawford, Norman Connors, Michael Jackson and composer Puccini (He’s not an African-American, but La Boheme leaves me wanting more.) to name just a few. I’m not leaving out the younger generation. They will be included in the future, but ROUTES is mining the “Roots”—the MASTERS. THE LEGENDS! Mostly I am spending much of the publications time in music. There are other richer areas and I hope as the publication grows that the other rich areas will be given their due justice. I’m a lucky person to be in this rich cultural place I’m in today.—Ronn
