How many years has it been since the Jazz Crusaders have played together?
I think the last time Wayne Henderson played with them was in the 1980�s.
So here you are, one of the great super groups of jazz, reunited again
for a single series of concerts at the Northern California Mecca of Jazz, Yoshis.
This gig catches the Crusaders in a one time reunion gig playing mainly oldies
from the 1960�s and 1970�s, so you�ll not hear �Spriral� here. Wayne Henderson acts as MC.
Both sets were recorded, but I�ve uploaded only the 1st set.

Four fun facts about the Jazz Crusaders: (1) First, their first recorded song was a pop hit on
AM Radio in 1961 about the Civil Rights struggle, called �Freedom Sound;� (2) When the Symbionese
Liberation Army aka Donald DeFreeze kidnapped Patty Hearst in 1975, and they delivered the ransom
tape recording, a Jazz Crusaders song, �Way Back Home,� was prominently in the background, causing
the FBI to interview Joe Sample; (3) Third, Wilton Felder played bass for Barry White on all his hit
singles; and Finally, the Steinberg Grand Piano that Joe Sample plays was specially delivered from
New York for this gig, and cost $120,000.
