The World of Hank Crawford


The World of Hank Crawford is an album by saxophonist Hank Crawford recorded in 2000 and released on the Milestone label.

Reception

Allmusic's Richard S. Ginell said: "Rather than stick completely with the down-home soul-jazz rituals that have served him well in his previous several releases, Crawford mixes up his pitches in this more-inclusively titled outing -- or he seems to.... Nice change of pace, though not that big of a change for this soulful veteran". In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle noted "Crawford always puts deep feeling into his alto saxophone playing and he always gives you the melody, the blues and a groove. He’s consistent and economical. This album is his 15th for Milestone, and it goes back to some of the jazz tunes he heard in his early days".
