Listening to the performance that was recorded in 2010 at the Blue Note Club in Tokyo, Japan, one is struck by the visceral energy that Grover Washington’s music still produces. While here on earth lesser mortals like us are left to pine for them by hanging on to their every note until, that is, a musician and fan such as the truly gifted keyboards player Jason Miles comes along with this wonderful tribute to Washington – To Grover With Love. deserves to be reinstated where it truly belongs: in Valhalla, where the spirits of great musicians go to be honoured for what they contributed to music. Translation: “Jason Miles’ tribute album to Grover Washington Jr., recorded live at 2010 Blue Note Tokyo. Grover’s friend Ralph MacDonald also joined, Andy Snilzer and Eric Darius played sax. All of them are great players who knew Grover very well, also with Jason’s wisely arrangement, played Grover’s song one by one with interaction and passion. This is a non-replicable fusion live show, amazing, relax!”īecause memories are short and because he was that good the memory of the late Grover Washington Jr. Jazz Life Review of “To Grover With Love – Live in Japan” The band is Andy Snitzer, Eric Darius, Gerald Veasley, Nick Moroch, Buddy Williams and Ralph MacDonald.
