The Jazz Fusion group The Crusaders returns this week, with their #1 album from 1977, Free As The Wind. Their
previous reviewed albums - The 2nd
Crusade, and Images both
received excellent reviews (3 stars). The Crusaders are definitely a great jazz band to listen to, and discover, if you
are not familiar with their music. Both albums reviewed, likewise this week's Free As The Wind all reached #1 on
Billboard's Jazz Albums chart.
The title track leads off the album, and of course, it's another great sound of Jazz. "I Felt The Love" is just
simply... SMOOOOOTH... "The Way He Was" is upbeat, groovin'. "Nite Crawler" is another great Jazz sounding
track, groovin' with the flow. "Feel It" definitely has the feel, of great Jazz. IT also has a cool R&B feel.
Ultimate (great) Jazz is the sound of "Sweet N' Sour" - definitely sweet, not sour. And Jazz just is great as it
always was, on "River Rat." Ending the album is the lounge jazz sounding "It Happens Everyday." Beautiful.
The Crusaders' Free As The Wind is another great album of pure Jazz. It's no wonder, just as the other albums
reviewed here by them, that they are exceptional, and deserving to be #1. Explore the great sounds of Jazz on this
album. You'll truly enjoy it.
