Grover Washington, Jr. on Piano Jazz

Grover Washington, Jr.

Saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. (1943-1999) was a master musician and multiple Grammy winner. He performed internationally and worked with names like Bobby McFerrin, B.B. King, Patti LaBelle, and Nancy Wilson. He performed at the 1993 Inauguration of President Bill Clinton. Washington’s purity of tone and long, fluid lines are evident on this 1994 Piano Jazz.
