About the event
The Crusaders (formerly known as The Jazz Crusaders) were an American jazz group that were successful from the 1960s to the 1990s.

The Crusaders were comfortable playing a wide assortment of genres, from straight ahead jazz to urban R&B, to R&B-based jazz, to even blues. The band reached a commercial apex in 1979 with their hit single "Street Life", featuring lead vocals by Randy Crawford, and their accompanying album of the same name.
