by Scott YanowAltoist Hank Crawford is in typically soulful form on this set of standards, blues and ballads. Joined by a crack eight-piece band (with some notable playing from guitarist Melvin Sparks), Crawford sounds particularly fine on "I Had a Dream," "Mona Lisa," Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower" and "Everything I Have Is Yours." The music, however, is quite safe and some of pianist Danny Mixon's song quotes are a touch corny. Good music that is easily recommended to Crawford's fans, but no real surprises occur.
