The Jazz Crusaders • Freedom Sound



Review:
The first album by the Jazz Crusaders (which started an extensive series for Pacific Jazz) introduced the colorful quintet. With trombonist Wayne Henderson and tenor saxophonist Wilton Felder giving the ensembles a unique sound, the group (also featuring regular members pianist Joe Sample and drummer Stix Hooper along with guests Jimmy Bond on bass and guitarist Roy Gaines) managed to strike a balance between creative hard bop and accessible soul-jazz. In addition to their version of "Theme From Exodus" (hoping to jump on the bandwagon created by Eddie Harris' hit rendition), the Jazz Crusaders perform originals by Felder, Henderson, and Sample ("Freedom Sound").

Reseña:
El primer álbum de los Cruzados del Jazz (que inició una extensa serie para el Jazz del Pacífico) introdujo el colorido quinteto. Con el trombonista Wayne Henderson y el saxofonista tenor Wilton Felder dando a los grupos un sonido único, el grupo (también con los miembros habituales, el pianista Joe Sample y el baterista Stix Hooper junto con los invitados Jimmy Bond en el bajo y el guitarrista Roy Gaines) se las arregló para lograr un equilibrio entre el hard bop creativo y el soul-jazz accesible. Además de su versión de "Theme From Exodus" (con la esperanza de subirse al carro creado por la exitosa interpretación de Eddie Harris), los Jazz Crusaders interpretan originales de Felder, Henderson y Sample ("Freedom Sound").
