More of the Music of Grover Washington
More Jazz Recordings Featuring the Saxophone
One of our good customers had this to say about some Hot Stampers he purchased recently:
Hey Tom,
So get a load of this. Until this afternoon I’d never even listened to Grover Washington – – that link you sent me earlier has All The King’s Horses highlighted not very far down. I remember seeing that album on the site not long ago, but Grover Washington?? Is Tom nuts? I considered him to be in the same category as Kenny G, lord emperor of Smooth Jazz… whatever, some people love it but it’s not for me. I’m a bop/hard bop guy – Monk, Dolphy, Dexter, Hubbard, Coltrane, Griffin, Morgan… no way I could be a fan of Grover.

But OK, Tom’s been right on so many things up til now… let’s see if Spotify (horrors!) has that album. WHOA… I’m bowled over! Grover is so NOT Kenny G. – the guy grooves hard, but funky – with a soul/blues feel, sometimes a little latin beat mixed in. Damn!!! It’s still available? Add to Cart. And Winelight is only $150? I’ll take that too.
Restraint is fickle, and situational. Thanks again.
