Jazz Crusaders Way Back Home

[@gclarksr780]

In my opinion ........ this is 'smooth jazz' BEFORE, there was a smooth jazz. These 'crusaders', started a smoothness in jazz, that can't be replaced or duplicated.

Only 31 now, I was introduced to this song back in 2005, I was to play it in a solo competition playing the Flugal horn for the Cullinan Fieldband. My dad came to watch me rehearse, and that afternoon remains a key memory in my life.

Got ya beat by ah little. Listened to it for years. Like yourself, I'm an old man now. I've been blessed with the talent of playing the bass guitar, and hook this up many times, gab my bass, & play right along with them. I'll soon be 76 yrs old if I'm blessed to see that day. Love it.
