JazzTimes (p.143) - "Sample seems happy to stay in the background and hand the spotlight to the capable Crawford, although he does manage to step out for solos....Perfect for dinner parties..."
Personnel: Randy Crawford (vocals); Joe Sample (piano); Christian McBride (double bass); Steve Gadd (drums).
The band on this disc--which includes bassist Christian McBride, drummer Steve Gadd, and keyboardist Joe Sample--is reason enough to take notice of FEELING GOOD, but that the session is fronted by vocalist Randy Crawford makes it impossible to overlook. Crawford hasn't lost any of the smooth, jazzy finesse that has characterized her style for so many years, and with the help of such fine company she has no problem shining on classic tracks such as "But Beautiful," "See Line Woman," and "Everybody's Talking." The level of musicianship and interplay is impressive throughout. FEELING GOOD, indeed.
