Review by Scott Yanow
Altoist Hank Crawford and organist Jimmy McGriff met up for a second time on this 1987 CD, and the results are predictably soulful and pleasing. With guitarist Jimmy Ponder and drummer Vance James completing the quartet and pianist Billy Preston (rarely heard in this type of setting) sitting in successfully on three of the seven numbers, this is a highly enjoyable outing, easily recommended for soul-jazz fans. Among the highlights are "River's Invitation," "Tippin' In" and McGriff's "Steppin' Up."

El altoista Hank Crawford y el organista Jimmy McGriff se reunieron por segunda vez en este CD de 1987, y los resultados son previsiblemente conmovedores y agradables. Con el guitarrista Jimmy Ponder y el baterista Vance James completando el cuarteto y el pianista Billy Preston (raramente escuchado en este tipo de escenario) sentando con éxito en tres de los siete números, esta es una salida muy agradable, fácilmente recomendada para los fanáticos del soul-jazz. Entre lo más destacado están "River's Invitation", "Tippin' In" y "Steppin' Up" de McGriff.
