more prominent West Coast Jazz performer of the day. Frankly Jazz was
hosted by Frank Evans, a leading jazz disk jockey of the day. The Jazz Crusaders play 'The Young Rabbits' on this episode.

The video won't play past the first 53 seconds. Is anyone else having this problem?

[FranklyJazzTV]

There does seem to be a problem. It will work sometimes, but not others. We will try our best to fix this. Thanks.

I just did some sleuthing and other groups that played on the show just played a blues like the Crusaders did here. This tune is called "Weather Beat".

This was great. I love the Jazz Crusaders, but have never seen them live. Thank you for posting. Does anyone know why stix hooper is not playing with the group now?

Saw the Jazz Crusaders last night at the Blue Note in NYC! Wayne, Wilton and Joe (no Stix) with Joe's son Nick on bass. Randy Crawford came up out of the audience unannounced and sang two songs (of course "Street Life" was one of them). Trust me . . . they were comin' hard!!!
