Wayman Tisdale
Contemporary/smooth jazz recording artist Wayman Tisdale recently had his lower right leg amputated due to having cancer. The blessing is he’s doing remarkably well, in fact the doctors are saying that the 1984 Gold medal winner is at least three months ahead of schedule in his recovery process.
This is and amazing story about an extraordinary man and his faith to excel against all odds!
Here’s a link to an interview Tisdale had with ESPN earlier this month. ~ The Urban Flux

The Crusaders | Live at Montreux 2003 [DVD]
The Crusaders were one of the pioneers of Jazz-Funk music in the seventies and have made a number of visits to Montreux over the years. This DVD focuses on their performance from 2003 when the band was touring in support of their album “Rural Renewal”. Founder members Joe Sample and Wilton Felder were joined in the line-up by long-standing friend Ray Parker Jr. on guitar and by the inimitable Randy Crawford on vocals. They delivered a set that spanned their career from early days up to their latest album capped with a stunning nine minute plus performance of their classic “Street Life” and finished off with a fun rendition of Ray Parker Jr’s “Ghostbusters”. ~ Amazon.com
