The Crossley Crawford Group has been together since 2015, performing to sold out shows at "Jazz at Zias," Penticton's Dream Cafe, the Vernon Jazz Club, and the Ryga Arts Centre. They have recorded three CD's of original jazz and vocal jazz tunes. Their shows are a mix of familiar jazz standards with a twist, as well as originals with a traditional swing flair.
Larry Crawford's career spans decades and includes playing on the original Sesame Street, touring with Liberace, Sammy Davis Jr. and Harry Belafonte, and five years touring with the NORAD bands. In addition to playing clarinet, tenor and soprano saxes and flute, this Okanagan icon is a prolific composer and arranger.
Allan Crossley has been a mainstay at Zias since 2015, playing solo piano most weekends. He is the lyricist & arranger for Larry's compositions.
Yanti's vocals are always a delight. Whether soloing with her ukulele or singing with a band, she draws audiences in with her enthusiasm and passion. She brings the Crawford/Crossley compositions to life!
Joining us on our third album is Craig Thomson on sax.
Rounding out the group are Stefan Bienz, a bass player in high demand, who plays with numerous local groups and musical productions; Scott Gamble, one of the finest drummers in B.C., whose musical playing and soloing are remarkable.
Really excited about our second CD - seven more originals from Crawford and Crossley.
The album is available on iTunes, Google Play and all the usual streaming services.

I'm really excited that my song "We Remember," a song for Remembrance Day was chosen to be one of the songs that schools can choose for last year's challenge. I'm also excited that more schools will become aware of the song and sing it as part of school Remembrance Day activities. About 20 schools across Canada chose We Remember for the contest.
