THE BEST OF THE JAZZ CRUSADERS contains a mixture of live and studio tracks recorded between 1961 and 1966. The live tracks were recorded at The Lighthouse, Hermosa Beach, California on August 5 & 6, 1962. In their earliest days, the core group of musicians from Houston, Texas now known to jazz, R&B and pop fans as The Crusaders were known as The Jazz Crusaders. Their approach and repertoire bore a strong resemblance to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
