All of the songs on this set except for the closing "Holy Night" (which was left over from a 1990 session) are from 1992. Altoist Hank Crawford is heard at his best on the ballads where he really caresses the melodies, giving them a great deal of soul and heartfelt feeling. Joined by guitarist Melvin Sparks, pianist Stan Hope, bassist Peter Martin Weiss and drummer Grady Tate (with an occasional hint of strings), Crawford digs into such songs as "I Should Care," "I Want To Talk About You," and "Fool That I Am," finding time to swing "In A Mellotone" and "Splanky." His alto playing is at its most vocal throughout this passionate yet tasteful set, which will be easily enjoyed by his many fans. ~ Scott Yanow

This is a continuous in- the-mix CD compiled and mixed by DJ Smash.
While Blue Note has been ushering in new artists on the electronic and experimental groove scenes, it has become apparent that they have tried to move away from releasing records strictly from the now stagnant world of contemporary jazz -- and hats off to them for it. Unfortunately, Phonography falls short so often that one must wonder if all this "experimentation" for the label is really worth it -- or if, in fact, it's experimentation at all or just an unfocused diversion. DJ Smash mixes together a montage of remixes put together for various artists throughout the Blue Note stable such as Medeski, Martin and Wood, Bob Belden, Ronny Jordan, and Cassandra Wilson. At first this might sound like a good idea, but from the moment this is thrown in the player it becomes evident that this good idea has turned around and bit itself right in the behind. Immediately, one is left to wonder what the motives behind the track selection were as the CD opens with Guru's remix of Medeski, Martin and Wood's "Whatever Happened to Gus" -- a four-and-half-minute romp for Guru to repeat the same verse over and over again. The unfortunate thing is that the track is taken from the Combustication Remix EP which was full of accomplished tracks other than that one. Another example of poor track selection is evident in the three remixes from Bob Belden's record, Strawberry Fields, a weak exploration into the music of the Beatles. Actually, one of the two versions of "Come Together" that is present is pretty good, but the other Belden tracks ...
