The Crusaders

this Band has always been my favorite Jazz Band. Lead by the Great Keyboard work of Joe Sample they have always struck a chord with my ears.I enjoy the versatility&range of the Band. I have there Box set which truly captures them from the 60's through the present.the Arrangements&Playing are really tight.they had a strong brand of Fusion into there stylings.Stix Hooper,Wayne Henderson,Wilton Felder,Joe Sample,&Others had a Hand in there trademark sound,but you always knew the neucleus of the Band. Joe Sample is my all time favorite Keyboard Player.Wilton Fedler is a Great Sax Player&a Very Underrated Bass Player.Stix Hooper knocks out the Drums.
