Description
Like guitarist George Benson, Grover Washington, Jr. (1943-1999) was both a highly respected jazz player of impeccable technique and a popular figure with a large following. A triple threat on tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones, Washington possessed a full, gorgeous tone on each horn.
Crossing over seamlessly from R & B to jazz and back again, Washington's music was at once synonymous with the burgeoning Smooth Jazz and Quiet Storm radio formats of the 1980s and '90s, and very much a part of any good straight-ahead station. Here are eleven of his coolest recorded performances.
