Grover Washington Jr Biography
A gifted saxophonist who frequently crossed over into R&B/pop territory, Grover Washington Jr. hit levels of mainstream success rarely achieved by jazz artists, particularly on his thoughtful 1981 single, "Just the Two of Us," with Bill Withers. Generally pegged as a smooth-jazz artist, Washington often revealed considerable funk tendencies, as on `74's MISTER MAGIC and `75's FEELS SO GOOD. Though he passed away at the relatively young age of 56 in 1999, Washington left behind an impressive recorded legacy that spans three decades.
