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”.

Larry Carlton – guitar; Rick Jackson – Keyboards; Chris Kent – bass; Moyes Lucas – drums. Plus guests Wilton Felder & Wayne Henderson
