Album Description The sound of the Jazz Crusaders was unmistakable. The dark, rich sound of Wayne Henderson's trombone and Wilton Felder's Texas tenor popped. Joe Sample's articulate piano style was as orchestral as it was rhythmic, and Stix Hooper could provide lots of color without sacrificing the great grooves he'd establish. The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach was the site of their most satisfying and commercially successful albums. "Lighthouse '68" was propelled by their aggressively unsentimental version of "Eleanor Rigby", but the album was full of great compositions by the band members, including bassist Buster Williams. Added to the original album which has been newly remixed and mastered in 24 bit are a live version of "Tough Talk" and three additional tunes that have not appeared on any Jazz Crusaders albums. * Previously unissued bonus tracks.

CD ReviewsA Jazz Neohpyte Discovers The Crusaders jazzNeophyte | Iowa City | 01/17/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "When I found this album in a drawer at my parents' house, I had to have it. The Crusaders had me at the first track, and they had me for good with the second. Although the Crusaders moved eventually into more R&B circles, they will always remain part of Jazz in my mind. The Crusaders are in top form in '68, and the audience at the Lighthouse Club is an extremely responsive one, which makes for a fun live album. "Ooga-Boo-Ga-Loo" really bops, and the Jazz interpretation of "Eleanor Rigby" is a lot mellower (and frankly more fun) than the Beatles' original. The "Native Dancer" track is an interesting one too--it feels like a cross between belly-dancing and Native American tribal dance. Kinda cool. One more thing about the Crusaders: their pianist absolutely rocks in this album. They're wonderful and flawless live performers. Take it from the Neohpyte: buy this album." An old Be-Bopper Remembers Dr. Eugene E. Nanay Jr. | Big Pine Key, Florida United States | 02/15/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Back in the late 50s and early 60s I hung around the Lighthouse as a buddy of mine had an apartment just down the alley and back then it was "Smokin". Never ran into the Jazz Crusaders, however I've been a huge fan of them since whenever-altho when they changed their name the music changed also. I consider this album my alltime 2nd favorite. Anyone that is into hard driving Be-Bop style will love this one."
