Remembering the great Hank Crawford who was an alto sax sensation starting with the Ray Charles band in 1963. A signature piercing, full bodied, blues, soul, and gospel drenched tone, set him apart from other alto saxophonists. He was one of David Sanborn's biggest influences, so we can only imagine what it was like to have Hank Crawford as the special guest on Sanborn's "Night Music" TV show and then to play with him on Crawford's hit "The Peeper!"
