AMG Review of Lighthouse '69
Scott Yanow
All Music GuideThis LP was the fourth and final Live at the Lighthouse recording by the Jazz Crusaders, following equally successful sets from 1962, 1966 and 1968. Although the repertoire (four pop and R&B tunes including the Beatles' "Get Back" and four originals) would not seem to be too promising, as usual the group transforms the music into their own brand of soulful and funky hard bop. Pianist Joe Sample is heard for one of the first times doubling on electric piano and there are fine solos by tenor saxophonist Wilton Felder and trombonist Wayne Henderson.
