Product Description
The sound of the Jazz Crusaders was unmistakable. The dark, rich sound of Wayne Henderson's trombone and Wilton Felder's Texas tenor popped. Joe Sample's articulate piano style was as orchestral as it was rhythmic, and Stix Hooper could provide lots of color without sacrificing the great grooves he'd establish.
The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach was the site of their most satisfying and commercially successful albums. "Lighthouse '68" was propelled by their aggressively unsentimental version of "Eleanor Rigby", but the album was full of great compositions by the band members, including bassist Buster Williams.
Added to the original album which has been newly remixed and mastered in 24 bit are a live version of "Tough Talk" and three additional tunes that have not appeared on any Jazz Crusaders albums.
