    About this album

    Free As The Wind is a sharp, soulful jazz-funk statement from The Crusaders, showing the group refining its blend of groove, melody and improvisation in the late 1970s. Issued in 1977, the album sits in the band’s crossover run, when they helped bring jazz closer to R&B audiences without losing instrumental depth or ensemble discipline. Built on relaxed but precise rhythms, fluent keyboard work and polished horn lines, it reflects the style that made The Crusaders one of the most accessible and influential groups in soul-jazz. The title track and pieces such as Nite Crawler and Sweet N' Sour underline the set’s easy authority and melodic pull.

    Genre: Soul & Funk
