A smooth blend of soul-jazz and jazz-funk, Oasis showcases Joe Sample’s signature keyboard work and compositional finesse. Recorded in Los Angeles and featuring guest vocals from Phyllis Hyman on “The Survivor,” the album moves effortlessly between introspective ballads and upbeat grooves. With lush string arrangements, crisp horn sections, and a lineup of top-tier session players, this 1985 release remains a standout in Sample’s solo catalog—refined, melodic, and deeply expressive.
