Product Information

Historically, The Jazz Crusaders were a nucleus of four in search of a bass player. Wayne Henderson, Wilton Felder, Joe Sample and Stix Hooper, were working together in various bands since their junior high school days in Houston, Texas- circa 1953. After leaving Texas and settling in Los Angeles, they

made their first album, "Freedom Sound," in 1961, and started musicians and critics talking about "the aggressive new group from Texas," firmly rooted in tradition and growing inevitably from the blues. Tenor saxophonist Felder, their major solo voice, is heavily in that David Newman-James Clay-Curtis Amy Texas

groove. A very fast terminal vibrato lends excitement to his playing. Henderson's trombone was generally in the J. J. Johnson tradition but with just the right hint of raucousness to provide Felder the proper complement. Sample's playing is florid but well-constructed and on the way to achieving an identity.
