Press Reviews Listen.com Review: A quick equation for you: Smooth Jazz piano + R&B influences = Joe Sample. Many have gone on to use this equation, including Ivor Humphrey. His stripped down melodic style, also brings to mind the early 1980s recordings by Bob James. Humphrey's tunes may not reek of originality, but they are pleasant and well recorded. Many of his upbeat numbers aren't that much different from what is now being called Acid Jazz.
