Info zu Winelight
Winelight is a smooth, well produced groove, that flows together nicely. It is an album good for waking up to on a Sunday morning, or playing while enjoying a bottle of wine late Saturday night. The songs feature enough tempo changes to keep things interesting, and Grover extends several of his solos, often playing beyond the context of the song. Ralph MacDonald’s percussion is particularly effective throughout the album.
Sadly, Grover Washington, Jr. died of a heart attack on December 17th, 1999, at the age of 56. Much of what he played was considered to be in a smooth jazz, or R&B jazz style, rather than a more traditional jazz style. Such was his talent, however, that he earned the respect of his peers within the jazz community. Unlike certain other players, who patterned their styles after Washington, there is no Grover Washington Jr. backlash, no plethora of negative reviews, no jokes about him. Grover Washington, Jr. was a talented musician who released a respected body of work, and he is missed.
The platinum-selling album is packed with well-executed smooth jazz compositions and the GRAMMY® Award-winning hit “Just The Two Of Us,” featuring Bill Withers. The album also won the GRAMMY® for Best Jazz Fusion Performance.
