Summary: Groover Rocks!
Comment: I'm new to Jazz and I'm only familiar with Kenny G's music, so I decided to explore contemporary jazz. This is my first Grover Washington cd and I have to say that Grover is probably one of the best contemporary jazz artist. I just love his style; you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Final album to start with
Comment: This is definitely one of the ones I'ma keep into my collection sooner or the other. This is great start for him since he was with Columbia Records. Like to say this, this is one of his final compilation CDs before he passed just a week after it was released. It was sad to hear that he died from a heart attack while performing a segment for the CBS Saturday Early Show on that day. I was 15 when that happened. So maybe does he left us a lot of legacies he left behind. Even he not's here anymore, he still lives on. He's my inspiration to follow which I said.
This is highly recommended to those who want the real Grover.
Rest in Peace, Grover. Your spirit lives on in us.

Summary: An honorable collection of a late great
Comment: One of the founding fathers of the "smooth jazz" genre, pioneering the blending of jazz with pop and R&B elements, Grover Wsahington consistently produced work of a high order: strong choice in material, enticing arrangements, and rich, soulful saxophone work. This collection sums up twelve years with Columbia Records neatly but thoroughlly.His takes on classics were always exciting, and Washington breathing new life into Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and the standard "Please Send Me Someone to Love" are no exceptions. But even the newer compositions sounded timeless, whether it was the sensual rhythmic vibe of "Only for You (Siempre Para Ti Sere)," the head-bobbing infectiousness of "Soulful Strut," or the sheer beauty of "Strawberry Moon," a gorgeous composition that has rightfully established itself as a classic smooth jazz cut. And then there's "Sacred Kind of Love," a duet with Phyllis Hyman that is the epitome of bittersweet: it's hard not to wonder, a bit sadly, what Washington and Hyman might have stood to accomplish if they were alive today. Still, hearing them pair up at the height of their artistry is a priceless thrill.
Throw in two tracks recorded especially for this collection before Grover's untimely passing (the slick and inviting "Heat Index" and "The Night Fantastic") and you have a satisfying compilation of one of jazz's most beloved saxophonists. If soul and technique are the meat of musical recordings, these are prime cuts indeed.
