When I was in my 20s growing up, I played this man and he put a spark underneath me to pick up my own saxophone that I can play just like him but that didn’t work out because I had a heart attack in 2008 and I sure in the hell don’t want to take no chances, but I sure do miss him Long time ago🎷🎷🎷🎷
Wilton Felder was a much underrated jazz musician IMO. He and Grover Washington was in that next class of great ones right after Trane. I love that Southwestern Jazz style that he and Jazz Crusaders group had. Check out "Chile Con Soul"
Man, could he blow! I wore this album out. It had a lot of good songs. His next album was good too (the one that has 'Someday we'll All be Free'). But most of his subsequent work I hated, as he descended into that Smooth Jazz abyss.
Crisp and clean amazing

Just the right amount of vibrato at the right time…thoughtful tone on that horn… great tune!
The one and only Wilton Felder! The amazing soulful tone, always my favorite!
The jazz crusaders!
this is DOPE
Great modern player deserves more recognition than he gets.
Modern?
I've been following The (Jazz) Crusaders for over 50 years...Lol
so much hope and humility in Wilton's playing
P.B . Thank you for introducing this to my listening faves and a new catalog of music.
This reminds me way back in the days of former Radio Transkei....The Station with a Difference
love his sax solo on inherit the wind.
3:48, now that's funky
When I mention the name: Wilton Felder it reminds me the great Crusaders ! including Joe Sample of course.
