About this item

Review By the time of his unexpected death at age 58 in December 1999, saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. had been at the forefront of blending rhythm-and-blues and jazz for nearly 30 years. His big break came in 1971, when he replaced a truant Hank Crawford for a CTI recording session. The resulting album, "Inner City Blues," was a big seller and pushed Washington Jr. into the spotlight. Although he wasn't limited to pop-jazz, it constituted the bulk of his recordings and is what he will be remembered for most clearly. In 1980, he recorded what many consider the "Kind of Blue" of smooth jazz, Elektra Record's "Winelight." His soprano saxophone work on that recording and on many others, influenced all the big smooth-jazz soprano stars: Najee, Kenny G, George Howard, etc. Washington Jr.'s final album, "Aria" is a posthumously released recording that finds Washington Jr.'s lyrical soprano interpreting a collection of opera themes. --- JAZZIZ Magazine Copyright © 2000, Milor Entertainment, Inc. -- From Jazziz
