About RADS Krusaders
In the late 50’s, Texas Southern University gave rise to one of jazz’s most innovative and legendary groups ever when pianist Joe Sample and his friends, saxophonist Wilton Felder and drummer Stix Hooper met trombonist Wayne Henderson and formed The Swingsters – which became the Modern Jazz Sextet and then the Jazz Crusaders. They cemented their place in jazz history in the 60’s with a fusion of hard bop and soul, and then shifted gears into a jazz funk style throughout the 70s and beyond, when they were known as The Crusaders.
Sample, Felder and Henderson are no longer with us, but their legacy and trademark vibe fusing powerhouse melodies, R&B grooves and jazz improvisation are alive and well, thanks to the dynamic emerging five piece contemporary jazz band RADS Krusaders. The ensemble’s explosive, multi-faceted album Going Way Back Home is a follow-up to their well received 2013 debut In Session.
