About this album

I Hear a Symphony is a strong example of Hank Crawford’s soulful, blues-rooted jazz style. Issued in 1975, it finds the alto saxophonist working comfortably across soul-jazz and funk-inflected material, bringing a warm tone and easy melodic feel to material such as the title track and Love Won’t Let Me Wait. Crawford, long associated with Ray Charles’s orbit, became admired for music that balanced groove, emotional directness and instrumental finesse. This album sits neatly within that crossover tradition, showing why Crawford remained one of jazz’s most distinctive and accessible voices in the 1970s.
