Wayne Henderson's trombone teamed up with <a href="spotify:artist:63cn8iGgLoxEHkp3mMPNXj">Wilton Felder</a>'s tenor in <a href="spotify:artist:6BufIg68WvvzrEqoDI19Kl">the Jazz Crusaders</a> to give the group its own trademark sound. A fine hard bop soloist who later in his career chose to become an R&B producer instead, Henderson first played regularly with <a href="spotify:artist:63cn8iGgLoxEHkp3mMPNXj">Felder</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4H2b90USTVSstPktwUsDZE">Joe Sample</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3iBiSxQPjIsqoiEgTaVJnp">Stix Hooper</a> in Houston in the mid-'50s. By the time they moved to Los Angeles and started recording in 1961, they were known as <a href="spotify:artist:6BufIg68WvvzrEqoDI19Kl">the Jazz Crusaders</a>. After many records for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Pacific+Jazz%22">Pacific Jazz</a>, the group in 1971 changed its name to <a href="spotify:artist:3Bhgbs9kIwl8SuU0eIqN6b">the Crusaders</a>. With Henderson's decision to quit the band in 1975, <a href="spotify:artist:3Bhgbs9kIwl8SuU0eIqN6b">the Crusaders</a> lost a great deal of their originality. In the mid-'90s, Henderson and <a href="spotify:artist:63cn8iGgLoxEHkp3mMPNXj">Felder</a> had a nostalgic reunion with an enlarged group for a recording on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Par%22">Par</a> label. Henderson died of heart failure in Culver City, California in April 2014; he was 74 years old. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
