The Jazz Crusaders • Lighthouse '69

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
This LP was the fourth and final Live at the Lighthouse recording by the Jazz Crusaders, following equally successful sets from 1962, 1966 and 1968. Although the repertoire (four pop and R&B tunes including the Beatles' "Get Back" and four originals) would not seem to be too promising, as usual the group transforms the music into their own brand of soulful and funky hard bop. Pianist Joe Sample is heard for one of the first times doubling on electric piano and there are fine solos by tenor saxophonist Wilton Felder and trombonist Wayne Henderson.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Este LP fue la cuarta y última grabación de Live at the Lighthouse de los Jazz Crusaders, tras los exitosos discos de 1962, 1966 y 1968. Aunque el repertorio (cuatro temas de pop y R&B, incluyendo "Get Back" de los Beatles, y cuatro originales) no parece demasiado prometedor, como siempre el grupo transforma la música en su propia marca de hard bop conmovedor y funky. El pianista Joe Sample se escucha por primera vez doblando en el piano eléctrico y hay buenos solos del saxofonista tenor Wilton Felder y del trombonista Wayne Henderson.
