Renowned pianist Joe Sample will be a special guest on NPR's popular nationwide radio show World Cafe with David Dye, on Thursday, Dec. 2. WXPN/Philadelphia produces World Cafe, which airs on over 165 stations nationally. Usually reserved for singers and songwriters, the upcoming broadcast will feature a live interview and performance by Sample.
A veteran keyboardist/composer, Sample is known for his simultaneous careers as a member of the seminal jazz funk combo the Crusaders and as a pioneering contemporary jazz solo artist. His recent Verve release, Soul Shadows, is his first-ever all solo piano recording, featuring such traditional jazz classics and ragtime favorites as Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," Ellington's "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good," Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Jitterbug Waltz" and Jelly Roll Morton's "Shreveport Stomp."
