Jazz for aficionados
I suspect that In the not too distant future, I will click on the latest you-tube from JALC, and there, in the Tenor Sax chair, will sit, The Frogman. At that point all the boos, hisses and cries of outrage directed at Wynton will cease. Wynton, at that point, will be The Frogman's boy. Stay tuned. Cheers |
"Grover Washington Jr." was certainly popular in the 70's. That's when I was traveling a lot between St. Louis and Atlanta, and Grover Washington was very popular in both places. He was one of the most consistent musicians when it came to good sounding music; that continued up until his death in 1999. In 1971, he came out with an album titled "Inner City Blues", and there was not one bad cut on it; as a matter of fact, I have to present 3 cuts on that album: Inner City Blues; Mercy Mercy Me, and Ain't No Sunshine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUxHao8aZPI&list=PLutzgs53WVha-XVfWBt4zEqpnhCfoiMl5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CXWsVg3ZC4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKfiyY9UcpI Those three cuts were from the same album. I bought that album when it came out, and it is well worn. This is what "Wiki" says about Grovers style; Fusion, Jazz-Funk, Smooth Jazz; I'm not quite sure I know what all that means, but when Grover does it, I like it. One last time for Grover; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaeEEqA3pPs Enjoy the music. |
The surgeon that performed the first, or one of the first heart transplants in this country, had this music piped into the operating room as he performed the transplant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv35zFXXLGM Cheers |
