Peace, ya'll here's the second installment form my Crusaders collection. 1972's "Hollywood" (MoWest div.of motown records) Personally, it is easily flows from mellow jazzy grooves, to straight up funk. Two of my faves on here are " papa hooper's barrelhouse groove", and " Alekesam" shit is stupid DOPE.
A great record that's really the beginning of The Crusaders' strong run of smooth funky jazz for the 70s. The album's got the group dropping the "jazz" from their name, but it's still a great bit of LA funky soul jazz -- with electric keyboards from Joe Sample that are very much in a late 60s mode, plus guitar from David T Walker and Arthur Adams, and bass from Chuck Rainey, in addition to fine work by regulars like Stix Hooper, Wayne Henderson, and Wilton Felder. Tracks have a tight and uncomplicated funky approach, with a slightly smooth edge (review by dustygrooveamerica.com)
but don't take my word for it read,.... er um listen to it yourself.
