Jimmy McGriff & Hank Crawford • Right Turn On Blue

 

Review by Scott Yanow
There was virtually no prior planning for this meeting between organist Jimmy McGriff and altoist Hank Crawford, but none was needed. The veterans had already recorded four prior albums together, so they simply jammed through blues, ballads and a few basic originals without any difficulty; Crawford could play this material blindfolded. McGriff sets the grooves expertly with his foot-pedal basswork, with assistance from guitarist Rodney Jones and drummer Jesse Hameen. The overall result is an enthusiastic session of foot-tapping music. No real surprises occur, but lovers of hard-swinging organ combos have nothing to complain about.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
No había prácticamente ningún plan previo para esta reunión entre el organista Jimmy McGriff y el contralto Hank Crawford, pero no era necesario. Los veteranos ya habían grabado cuatro álbumes anteriores juntos, así que simplemente improvisaron blues, baladas y algunos originales básicos sin ninguna dificultad; Crawford podía tocar este material con los ojos vendados. McGriff ajustaba los ritmos de forma experta con su pedal de bajo, con la ayuda del guitarrista Rodney Jones y el batería Jesse Hameen. El resultado general es una sesión entusiasta de música de pedaleo. No hay sorpresas reales, pero los amantes de los combos de órgano no tienen nada de qué quejarse.
