The Jazz Crusaders

In celebration of LACMA’s exhibition California Design, 1930–1965: “Living in a Modern Way,”  the legendary Jazz Crusaders make a rare Southern California appearance. The Jazz Crusaders have been an integral and innovative part of jazz history. Founded by keyboardist Joe Sample along with trombonist Wayne Henderson, tenor sax Wilton Felder, and drummer Stix Hooper, the Jazz Crusaders started their storied career in Los Angeles in 1960. After garnering numerous gold and platinum albums over the course of nearly three decades, Sample, Henderson, and Felder reunite as the Jazz Crusaders for the first time since 1974. The music and their performance pay homage to the rich catalogue of material that they recorded and performed throughout the 1960s and early ’70s.
