8:30 Jazz Podcast Episode #60 The Jazz Crusaders
The Jazz Crusaders were a pioneering American jazz group formed in the early 1960s, known for blending hard bop with soul, R&B, and later, funk influences. Featuring key members like Wayne Henderson on trombone and Joe Sample on piano, the group created a signature sound with their unique front-line of trombone and tenor saxophone. Eventually shortening their name to The Crusaders in the 1970s, they evolved into a more commercially successful fusion band while still retaining strong jazz roots. Also have a interview with friends of the 8:30 crew Mr. Nate Lee on his musical career and a blindfold test in this pt.1 episode of the Crusaders.
