Night Faces Arthur Adams - Guitar Roland Bautista - Guitar Oscar Brashear - Trumpet Garnett Brown - Trombone Randy Crawford - Vocals Paulinho Da Costa - Percussion Wilton Felder - CoSaxophone Barry Finnerty - Guitar William Green - Saxophone Stix Hooper - Drums Paul Jackson, Jr. - Guitar James Jamerson - Bass Alphonso Johnson - Bass Robert O'Bryan - Trumpet Jerome Richardson - Saxophone Billy Rogers - Guitar Joe Sample - Keyboards Although the Crusaders could not have known it at the time, their recording of "Street Life" (which features a memorable vocal by Randy Crawford) was a last hurrah for the 20-year old group. Their recordings of the next few years would decline in interest until the band gradually faded away in the '80s. However this particular set is well worth picking up for the 11-minute title cut and there is good playing by the three original members (Wilton Felder on tenor, soprano and electric bass, keyboardist Joe Sample and drummer Stix Hooper) along with guitarist Barry Finnerty; horn and string sections, plus additional guitarists are utilized on Sample's commercial but listenable arrangements. ---Scott Yanow, AllMusic Review By 1979, Crusaders were a well established jazz fusion crossover act with leader Joe Sample providing keyboards, Wilton Felder saxophone, and “Stix Hooper” drums and percussion. Whilst viewing some chaotic scenes at the beginners slope at the Mammoth Mountain California resort, Sample came up with the idea for a song titled “Street Life” which reflected his love for the hubbub of the city.

Indeed, from a position of relative obscurity when he arrived in New York in 1959, he went on to become one of contemporary jazz’s most prolific and commercially successful composers. The main focus of this dissertation will be Zawinul’s rise to prominence in American jazz during the 1960s and 1970s.
