Nick Sample presents Keys Unlocked: Joe Sample’s Groove.
Detroit jazz lovers, add this concert to your Summertime celebration.. The legendary sounds of Joe Sample are coming back to life July 17-19th at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe. This isn’t just any tribute—we’ve crafted an entirely new set from Joe’s extensive catalog. From his Crusaders classics to his soul-stirring solo work, we’re bringing Sample’s keyboard genius back to the D. If you’ve ever felt the groove of ‘Street Life’ or the emotion of ‘Rainbow Seeker,’ this is your chance to experience that magic again, with Joe’s son Nick Sample as your host and local all-stars: Phil Whitfield, Kris Kurzawa, Louis Jones III, Houston Patton, & Vincent Chandler. Come here some classics like Free As The Wind, Seven Years of Good Luck, Hippies on a Corner and much more.
