Live from Philadelphia, Multi Grammy Award-Winner Grover Washington, Jr. blends the best of Jazz Fusion, R&B, Blues, Funk, Pop and Soul to create his own innovative and distinctive musical voice. The hottest star in Jazz-Pop fusion, backed by an all-star band, was captured in this rare concert appearance recorded at the very peak of his powers. Grover paints the full musical spectrum. Watch him soar on "Winelight" and mesmerize us with his smash hit "Just the Two of Us." Another highlight is a moving tribute to his friend Julius "Dr. J" Erving, which is interwoven with NBA action clips of the basketball star. His passionate version of "Make Me a Memory," written for his wife, will linger in your musical memory and is so lush and soul-stirring that we can witness firsthand why he is an artist of such unyielding endurance.
BILLBOARD Magazine gave this glowing review: "This is no run-of-the-mill concert footage. Marvelous lighting, camera angles, edits and cuts elevate it to as dynamic a visual plateau as is imaginable. Even the most jaded concert footage watchers will find a high repeatability quotient. Complementing the visuals are breathless sonics mixed with audiophile precision, perhaps the finest audio of any home video to date."
Selections include "Winelight," "Let It Flow (A Tribute to Dr. J)," "On the Dark Side (No. 5)," "Make Me a Memory (Sad Samba)," "Just the Two of Us," and "Mister Magic."
Musicians include Grover Washington, Jr. (Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, & Soprano Sax), Richard Tee (piano), Eric Gale (Guitar), Steve Gadd (Drums), Ralph McDonald (Percussion), Anthony Jackson (Bass), Paul Griffin (Synthesizer), and Zack Sanders (Vocal)
