O’s Notes: Miles has done excellent tributes to Miles and Marvin Gaye. This is his second celebration of Grover Washington’s work. We gave the 1st one a “5”! He brings along a wealth of good talent starting with Maysa who blesses “Mr. Magic” with her vocals. Najee (sax), Ralph MacDonald (perc), Gerald Veasley (b) and Chuck Loeb (g) are a few of the others. There are 11 tunes highlighted by “Stolen Moments”, “Strawberry Moon”, “Reaching Out” and “Reed Seed”. These jazzy R&B songs remind us of the man who has been gone for ten years now. But Jason does well to help his legacy live on… again!
