Arranger: Joe Sample. Aside from his solo career, Joe Sample is also known as keyboardist for the Crusaders, one of the earliest crossover jazz groups. And for decades, the singer Randy Crawford has also straddled the zones of jazz, pop, and R&B with her sweetly melodious and soulful style. These two have reunited for NO REGRETS, a set that revisits their musical roots without trying to turn back the proverbial clock. While this is chiefly a mellow jazz album, it's one that reflects the substance and yearning of classic blues and R&B with covers of the standard "Everyday I Have The Blues" and the Stax Records obscurity "Starting All Over Again."

JazzTimes (pp.86-87) - "The trick is picking suitable songs, of course, and Crawford and Sample nail it with a varied selection of familiar and not-so-well-known numbers....Sample holds it all together with his acoustic keys, stepping out for tasteful solos."
