The Jazz Crusaders - Eleanor Rigby

This 1968 live outing captures the Jazz Crusaders in fine, laid-back form. As with the best concert recordings, the group benefits here from the intimacy of the setting; the musicianship is spot-on and technically challenging, yet remains warm and expansive. The band--fronted by pianist Joe Sample, trombonist Wayne Henderson, and tenor sax man Wilton Felder--rolls out its smoothest grooves while incorporating gospel fervor, funk rhythms, and no small amount of hard-bop vocabulary.
