Crusaders Classic

The 2nd Crusade is one of the most classic jazz albums ever recorded. It's one of those rare albums, with one great track after another. A must have for any true jazz lover.

Stunning 2nd release of The Crusaders

Amazing 2nd release of the group formerly known as The Jazz Crusaders. Every song is great. Funk, jazz, gospel, soul etc. all mixed together into a masterpiece of this genre that later morphed into the ubiquitous "Smooth Jazz" of the last few decades. Crusaders 1 also highly recommended.

good news bad news

The good news is that the CD was mastered in such a way that some of the hotter trombone notes that practically bounced the stylus off the original record are tamed down. They now fit in a signal that is well reproduced off the CD.The bad news is that some material is missing on the last track....

More Excellent Work!

This is the second of three double-length albums that The Crusaders recorded for ABC/Blue Thumb in the early '70's. We start off with the soulful "Don't Let It Get You Down". "Take It Or Leave It" follows immediately. "Gotta Get It On" has a funky shuffle feel to it. "Where There's A Will,...

Jazz has always held a special meaning in my life and the community I come from. The Crusaders in particular brought a different dimension to JAZZ intepretation even more so when it is shared by a typical SOWETAN from the townships of Johannesburg South Africa. The 2nd Crusade album is but one of...

The Beginning of my Jazz Crusade

I was a teenager when this Double Album came out in 1972 ;it changed my perspective on music and moved me toward exploring Jazz. This is an incredible mixture of finger-poppin',foot-stompin' Blues-Soul-Funk, eclectic straight-ahead Improvisation and introspective Ballads.The driving Horn power of...

The Groove Still Sounds Good Today!!

This is one of my very favorite albums from back in the day, and the Crusaders have always had a beautiful chemistry within their band that was truly highlighted on "The 2nd Crusade". The mixture of styles has a wonderful range, and Joe Sample's songwriting was exquisite even in the early...

Fat, fluid down-home groove

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of waking up with the sun pouring into my window and the sweet sound of the Crusaders coming up from downstairs, so I'll always have a soft spot for their sound. Along with "Pass the Plate" (wherefor art thou? ), "The 2nd Crusade" ranks at the very top...
