Hank Crawford has the most hauntingly beautiful tone, the godfather of all modern saxophonists.....Kenny Garrett, David Sanborn etc. they all owe him such a lot! Fabulous recording, thanks for placing it!

So Good. Love these old school Masters

This is beautiful I love jazz...❤

bob thank you

Hank Crawford is a true hero - Composer, arranger, and brilliant Alto player. "You Send Me" is a song by Sam Cooke, released on September 7, 1957.

this was grover washington jr's last saxophone teacher. awesome

I got to see the "Soul Survivors" line-up a couple of times around '88 or '89 (a long time ago) and I was forever convinced that, with just the right amount of alcohol in his system, Hank Crawford was the greatest musician who ever lived. That magic has never been fully captured on his great recordings. This video gets closer to that than anything in his recorded output, but seeing it live in a club was an unforgettable, ineffable experience! As a guitarist, I gotta say Bob is fantastic, too.

Great rendition by all. Bob's guitar solo is outstanding! Great tone, soulful phrasing, cool ideas.

Beautifully done by all.

Powerful!!!

If you have never listened to " Hank Crawford,s Back" on a good stereo, you aint lived.

One WORD. ....Excellent!!!!!

That song talks to you! Whew takes you away!

Great Video!! Hank is the Man!!

Hank is great and my hero Jimmy Mcgriff just killin it on the mighty Hammond organ!!! Thanks for posting.

Oh boy, this song surely tears my soul apart.

@gcornielje Always loved Hank Crawford. I saw James Brown a couple months before he had the stroke, at Cache Creek Casino in Northern California, saw him for the first time in 15 years. He did more than a 2 hour show, just tore it up....and he had an alto player who mesmerized the entire audience! Never heard anything like him in my 63 years. A very large Cajun guy from Louisana, maybe 6' 5", at least 300 pounds...Lord Have Mercy could that man play! Cannot remember his name...spectacular.

Just a great, great soulful, funky and slow-pokey greasy blues played by the very best! Absolutely outstanding solo’s. Thanks guys! Just Dig & Cheers!

wonderful take on this famous song originally by Sam Cook! love it very smooth and nicely done.

Yes I do remember, loved Sam Cooke...and You Send Me. Those were the days! Absolute joy to hear.

I'm crying.

For those who don't know, Hank was in Ray Charles' band for several years along with Fathead Newman on tenor.

And Hog Cooper on bari sax

Sam Cooke just rolled over in his grave to post a "thumbs up" here.

I never heard of them beautiful smooth

Hank Crawford: sonido inmortal, vale la pena imitarlo, intentar copiarlo lo más que e pueda. El saxo es un juguete en sus manos, hace lo que quiere y el Blues se estremece aún hoy, 2019....Africa no es sólo percusión o tambor: es rítmica pura en su descendencia, es Madre Eva Genética que no sólo dió orígen a la humanidad, sino que en su cuna anidó, anida y seguirá anidando el grandioso poder de la música: aún invadida, esclavizada, racializada es la Madre....casi nada!

I wish I could of seen him live

Man he really gets into it😳👏👏

Oh yeah, Bob! Great solo!

Thanks so much, George! You can't help playing the blues when you're standing next to Hank Crawford, love him!

It's all about//tempo and sound..amen

Wow!!! Cool stuff.

Love it. Great tone.

!I really thank you for posting. It is awesome. I have been looking for McGriff and Crawford's version of "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye and can't find it. If you have it - please, please post it. Thanks in advance.

Expression par excellence

Sweet.

Best!

@calwaite I don't know who the alto player could be, just know Maceo Parker used to play a lot with James Brown! Saw them together a looong time ago: more than 25 years or so...

@gcornielje,So Right!

@gcornielje It wasn't Maceo, of course...come guy I never saw before, but he made Maceo sound like a rank amateur! This guy made an alto sound like a tenor, never saw anything like it. James commented from the stage at one point, when introducing the guy: " For all you people out there who might be thnking of stealing him from me for your own band, I pay him twice as much as anyone ever paid a horn player in history, so don't even think about it." Too cool

No reason to compare players like that. They both (maceo and Hank) great!!

didn"t hank and david newman sit in with doc severinson on the tonite show ? with tommy newsome also ? hank and the fathead were terrific , hank really seemed to enjoy himself when performing .

Could the seemingly all white audience be any lamer?? I'm white, by the way. This is so beautiful. Jimmy McGriff was MY MAN back in the day!

Only Sam Cooke's version is better. Fantastic!

bob thank you
