Product Description

The Crusaders were one of the pioneers of Jazz-Funk music in the seventies and have made a number of visits to Montreux over the years. This DVD focuses on their performance from 2003 when the band was touring in support of their album "Rural Renewal". Founder members Joe Sample and Wilton Felder were joined in the line-up by long-standing friend Ray Parker Jr. on guitar and by the inimitable Randy Crawford on vocals. They delivered a set that spanned their career from early days up to their latest album capped with a stunning nine minute plus performance of their classic "Street Life" and finished off with a fun rendition of Ray Parker Jr's "Ghostbusters".

The Best of the Crusaders
This is a great live performance of the Crusaders and Randy Crawford. You must have this one in your collection!

CRUSADERS AT MONTREUX
THE CRUSADERS LIVE AT MONTREUX IS A MUST HAVE IN YOUR JAZZ VIDEO COLLECTION. HAVING SEEN THEM NUMEROUS TIMES AT TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY) BIRTHPLACE OF THE GROUP), I WITNESSED FIRST-HAND THEIR MUSICAL GENIUS. THE MONTREUX SET CAPTURED THE ENERGY AND VERSATILITY THAT I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED DURING THE LIVE PERFORMANCES OF THE CRUSADERS. THE GROUP DIDN'T PLAY SOME OF MY FAVORITE CUTS, BUT WHAT I DID HEAR WAS THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE. BUT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A MUST HAVE DVD
I have been a fan of the Crusaders for a long time. When I found out that this DVD was available I ordered it immediately. I was not disappointed, the DVD is great.
