In Joe Sample's stories about the past, he'd often share a simple yet insightful perspective on the Crusaders' musical journey. Recalling those early days, he'd laughingly say, "All the hard cats were in New York, and the Crusaders were like, 'Forget this, where's the melody? We're going to L.A.'" These anecdotes painted a picture of the band's rebellion against the norm, opting for a more melodic and soulful approach, steering clear of overly intellectual pursuits. Through these stories, Sample highlighted the Crusaders' commitment to keeping the heart and soul alive in their jazz, making their musical journey one worth remembering.
View this 45 minute masterclass into the Crusaders live in Los Angeles to be transported back to 1984 and experience the magic of the Crusaders sound.

Holican has completely transformed the way I experience jazz. The platform brings me closer to my favorite artists and introduces me to new talents I might never have discovered otherwise.
I'm enjoying my self-guided tour through your Pops' catalog on the Holican website. I still have my dusty VHS copy of Midnight Triangle and the Absolute Benson DVD still gets playlist time in my TV room. The website now is far more satisfying to me as an avid Joe Sample fan, browsing and sampling (sorry) the posted library.
There is some amazing footage here... wow!
Thank you so much for this incredible website that is so freaking awesome. Thank you for doing that. I can't tell you again how much your dad and his music meant to me since 19 years old in the first Joe sample album I heard it changed my life forever I love you man. Hope you're doing good again, thank you so much for keeping his legacy alive
