I've just come across Hank Crawford and I am really liking the couple of tracks I've heard, but where to start? Any definitive albums or tracks that you'd recommend I kick off with?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
I'm a big fan of Hank Crawford and I own several of his albums including the one below, and I would say any album is great to listen to, but here's a good starting point... from the early days to the later stuff of the 1980s and early 1990s. Big influence on David Sanborn, Eric Marienthal, Edgar Winter.

Hi Greg,
Thanks, that's brilliant, it sounds like a great first step into the world of Hank Crawford... but the link says:
...well there was only one left, you didn't think I was going to hang around did you ;}
Looking forward to post to arrive.
Thanks again,
Chris
There's a blues album he did with Jimmy McGriff- the hammond organ player- that's great, sorry- can't remember the name but it should be easy enough to track down
Yup -that's the one!Soul Survivors.
It's available on Emusic.
Just getting into (heavily) this player myself, so many quality players out there to find, it's enjoyable searching 🙂

Cheers Brian, I'll take you up on thatKev, if you have a turntable, you can borrow my vinyl copy of Roadhouse Symphony.
I've spent a few evenings going through old episodes of "Night Music" on YouTube. It seems to have been the template for Later with Jools Holland but with a very New York sensibility (lots of jazz, world music and the artier end of rock music). Lots of absolutely superb performances to enjoy there.... The stunningly good Leonard Cohen & Sonny Rollins one is from there, Pharoah Sanders and Sanborn duetting, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers back in the day they were absolutely deranged etc etc....No problem. pop over when convenient.
You inspired me and ive been on You tube.
Check this out. Master and pupil. both sounding great.
