One of the most popular saxophonists of all time, Grover Washington, Jr. is a pacesetter in his field. With roots in rhythm and blues and soul-jazz organ combinations, he also plays straight-ahead jazz. A highly influential player, Washington pushes himself with the spontaneity and chance-taking of a masterful jazz musician.
A renowned live performer, Washington is able to display his own personal voices on soprano, tenor, alto and even his infrequently used baritone sax. He often stretches himself in concert, feeding off the energy of the live audience.
This is very evident in this performance from the Trump Regency Cabaret Theater in Atlantic City, New Jersey. You will feel the magic of this legendary performer from the opening 1980 classic Winelight to a stunning 10-minute medley featuring the Marvin Gaye hit Mercy Mercy Me, the Bill Withers classic Just The Two Of Us and Washington hits such as Inner City Blues and Sausalito.
