Organist
Jimmy McGriff and altoist
Hank Crawford always make for a potent team. With guitarist
Wayne Boyd and drummer
Vance James completing the quartet,
McGriff and
Crawford explore an appealing mixture of blues, soulful ballads and riff tunes. Few surprises occur but many of the songs (particularly "Movin' Upside the Blues," "The Sermon," "When I Fall in Love" and "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy") are fairly memorable. The fans of these fine players will not be disappointed.
