GROVER WASHINGTON JR
Grover Washington, Jr. (December 12, 1943 - December 17, 1999) was an American jazz-funk / soul-jazz saxophonist. Along with George Benson, John Klemmer, David Sanborn, Bob James, Chuck Mangione, Herb Alpert, and Spyro Gyra, he is considered by many to be one of the founders of the smooth jazz genre. He wrote some of his material and later became an arranger and producer.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Washington made some of the genre's most memorable hits, including "Mr. Magic", "Black Frost", and "The Best is Yet to Come". In addition, he performed very frequently with other artists, including Bill Withers on "Just the Two of Us" (still in regular rotation on radio today), Patti LaBelle on "The Best is Yet to Come" and Phyllis Hyman on "A Sacred Kind of Love". He is also remembered for his take on the Dave Brubeck classic "Take Five", and for his 1996 version of "Soulful Strut".
Washington played on black nickel-plated saxophones made by Keilwerth. These included a SX90R alto, a SX90R tenor, and a soprano.

For jazz enthusiasts who were never able to experience a live performance by the late, great Grover Washington, Jr, this release of a performance captured live at the Trump Regency Cabaret Theater in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1990 offers all of the polish, dexterity, and soul that made the saxophone specialist a living legend. With extended medleys and innovative jams, Washington shifts between raucous funk to soothing romance while offering intoxicating interplay with the skilled musicians that make up his band. Songs featured in this performance include "Winelight", "Take Me There", "Time Out of Mind", and "Let It Flow". ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This is one of Grover Washington, Jr.'s best-loved recordings and considered a classic of r & bish jazz. All four songs (which includes Billy Strayhorn's "Passion Flower") are quite enjoyable but it is "Mister Magic" that really caught on as a major hit. Bob James provided the colorful if somewhat commercial arrangements, there are spots for guitarist Eric Gale, and Washington (mostly on tenor and soprano) is heard in particularly creative form. Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
