Paul Jackson, Jr. at Hemming Plaza, Jacksonville, FL May 29, 2011 - Playing a great Luther Vandross Cover.

The Crusaders were one of the pioneers of Jazz-Funk music in the seventies and have made a number of visits to Montreux over the years. Founder members Joe Sample and Wilton Felder were joined in the line-up by long-standing friend Ray Parker Jr. on guitar and by the inimitable Randy Crawford on vocals. They delivered a set that spanned their career from early days up to their latest album capped with a stunning nine minute plus performance of their classic "Street Life".

Recorded live in Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland, 13th July, 1997
