It's Krunch Time is the sixth album by American jazz trumpeter Roy Campbell, recorded and released in 2001 on Thirsty Ear's Blue Series, a line of recordings under the artistic direction of pianist Matthew Shipp. The album includes a version of Thelonious Monk composition "Bemsha Swing" and a solo trumpet rendition of the US national anthem "Star Spangled Banner". "Ode for Mr. DC" is dedicated to Denis Charles.
The AllMusic review by David R. Adler states Campbell "takes his time developing passionate rubato statements on tracks like 'Tenderness of Spring', 'The Opening', and 'New Groes for the Millennium', while "Jamal shines, with his slightly raspy sound, on 'Khanducting'."
