Personnel: Hank Crawford (alto saxophone); Jimmy McGriff (organ); Jimmy Ponder (guitar); Billy Preston (piano, organ). Recording information: Nj (06/15/1987/06/16/1987); Rud Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, NJ (06/15/1987/06/16/1987). Photographer: Frank Lindner. Unknown Contributor Role: Vance James. 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." ~ Scott Yanow
