O’s Notes: Grover was one of the premier contemporary jazz saxophonists who helped bring jazz into the mainstream from the late 1970s until he unexpectedly died in 1999. This collection produced by Jason Miles includes eighteen of his hits including “Winelight”, “East River Drive”, “Sausalito” and “Mr. Magic”. Some of his earlier songs, “Inner City Blues”, “Sassy Stew” and “Black Frost” are also includes. This is one of Washington’s coveted live sessions including his commentary between tracks. It is a treasure for both old and new fans. His sound remains current and embraceable some thirty years later!
