After Dark is an album by saxophonist Hank Crawford recorded in 1998 and released on the Milestone label.[1] [2] [3]
Allmusic's Alex Henderson said: "After Dark finds Hank Crawford excelling by sticking to what he does so well: uncomplicated, blues-drenched, gospel-minded soul-jazz. Warmth and accessibility continued to define the veteran alto saxophonist, who sounds like he's still very much in his prime". In JazzTimes, Miles Jordan called it a "blues-saturated disc which features altoist Crawford with a terrific combo" and noted "Crawford is through and through a bluseman, albeit one without portfolio. Maybe there’s too much “jazz” in his playing. Whatever the case, this CD-like most of his work definitely deserves a bigger audience".[4]
