| Details: |
The late saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. was on the cutting edge of jazz's pop transformation in the 1980s. Along with guitarist George Benson, flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione, and others, Washington brought a commercial sensibility to the genre, and smooth jazz was born. This new style was quickly embraced by the general public, but dismissed by many jazz purists. Nonetheless, crossover jazz is here to stay, and Washington is one of its biggest practitioners. This JAZZ MOODS compilation presents a number of Washington's biggest "Quiet Storm" radio hits. Such favorites as "Soulful Strut," "Love like This," and "Play That Groove for Me" are all captured here, along with Washington's modernized version of the Paul Desmond-penned classic "Take Five." Although Washington uses drum machines and other electronic instruments throughout this track, the inclusion of the tune serves as a reminder of the tenor man's "cool" jazz roots. |
