Event
Walter Beasley, Ronnie Laws and Wilton Felder of the Crusaders
Three generations, all legendary performing saxophonists share the stage:
WALTER BEASLEY/RONNIE LAWS/WILTON FELDER OF THE CRUSADERS!
Experience this historic concert: Beasley: "How many people can say they've shared the stage with TWO mentors!"
FELDER: Founding Member of The Crusaders.
"Some musicians today can only play one sound. Take them out of their environment and they are lost. I'd like to see more musicians who are well rounded."
FELDER: Well known as the sax player. Also bassist, vocalist, executive producer. Motown's West Coast "house" bassist. Did you know?? Those are Felder's bass licks you hear on the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back."

***********************************************************
RONNIE LAWS:
Juilliard trained older brother downloaded to Ronnie, before downloading became a household word.
Ronnie met the alto sax at age 12. Started his own band while in high school. Ok, so he abandoned semi-pro baseball. Led a 16 piece band way before college.
Quincy needed a tenor sax - Ronnie stepped up.
Actually has his own signature line of saxes. Wow...
Boney James, Rick Braun & company performed Ronnie's classic "Always There" at Montreaux Jazz Festival - as a tribute to Ronnie. Now, that's nice.
