Pretty obscure. I found it on a blog back in the day. Worth hearing.

Bet the link's dead now, shame. Another obscurity awaiting reissue

I hope so. I have seen it a few times on Instagram so there's hope, even if it is just a download-only Bandcamp thing.

It sounds quite a lot like 70s spiritual jazz, so if you like Strata East / Black Jazz, etc., you might enjoy it. Worth tracking down.

Not another "spiritual jazz" grail. Like so many others I bet it's hardly got a hint of the spiritual to it. Just marketing these days.

Too much Coltrane influence to my taste….

That it is, but Sinatra was not in his best voice. It's a bit of a disappointment for me because of that.

I hear you, but this isn't the kind of album I put on to hear stellar singing.  I have about 30 other Sinatra albums I can do that with.

[JSngry]

Having seen Sinatra live in Vegas (Caesar's) and in better voice than here, I don't really need the Sands record.

I think it is all up on YouTube.

When I returned it to the shelf I ran across this and will play it next.

[clifford_thornton]

now the Reid I do have. Excellent.

Ordered the Raushiek for a cheap price online, liked the clips I listened to.

[mjazzg]

I checked that Raushiek too, interesting. Sadly not so cheap to here

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, overseas cheapies are best ordered in bulk.

The first and for me best new line-up release feat guitar and electric bass (Chuck Rainey !!) .... nevertheless the magic of the "Jazz Crusaders" era (f.i like Buster Williams could play funky grooves on acoustic bass) is somehow gone ....

They definitely evolved into something different. 

It's hard for me to hear this music objectively because I grew up listening to The Crusaders (Mk II) as a kid.  My dad had several of their albums and played them often.  OTOH, I only discovered the Jazz Crusaders in adulthood.

One of my favorite Crusaders LPs:

Live in concert.  Not at all a studio artifact.
