An 80's work that represents the height of maturity and sophistication of jazz fusion.
Urban and mellow, the Crusaders present "adult jazz".
The Crusaders are a prestigious band that originated in the hard bop of the 1960s, but evolved into fusion and urban jazz in the 1970s and after. This work, "Standing Tall," is a symbol of their style in the 1980s, fusing a funky and smooth groove, a lustrous electric piano, and a sophisticated horn section. It is loved by many listeners as "urban jazz" that is perfect for driving or nighttime.
