By far some of the greatest Jazz of all times. Such an excellent Artist gone much too soon, but Grover, Washington, Junior leaves music to be cherished for centuries to come. May he continue to rest in power, now, one of our ancestors, and worthy to be acknowledged as such. For his family, and all his friends and all of his band members may we all keep great and fine memoriesof Mr. Washington, Junior, and our heart and mind even for those of us who only knew his music and didn’t know him as a person personally. Much love, much respect. Jeffrey Lewis, Detroit.
It's 1978 and I'm a 16 year old white kid who loves jazz and especially Grover Washington Jr. I played the tenor saxophone so it wasn't that hard to fall in love with his playing. He really was one of the best I scored a second row, aisle seat at a show at Cincinnati Music Hall. It has to be one of the greatest nights of my life. I luckily was able to see him a couple more times. Great memories.
I mentioned these guys because not only were they great musicians, I just think it's weird how they all played saxophone and all died pretty damned young.
Grover Washington Jr. and his band are missed. I wonder what music they would have created if Grover would not have been called home so soon. RIP to the great Grover Washington Jr. Pieces Of A Dream: My Favorite Number Is Foe Five Foe
So grateful I got to see him play on my birthday in 1992 at the Rheem Theatre in Moraga, CA and again at The Playboy Jazz Festival, Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles. Thank you for the sounds Grover, R.I.P., Much Love ❤️

There was nothing like seeing G.W. and R. Lee perform with Pieces back in the early eighties.....Got lucky TWICE! Second time was at a small club venue in Denver.......OMG!
I worked for a record wholesaler in Phila, the guy who had the spot before me was Grover Washington. He would pop in from time to time. One of the sweetest, humble positive amazing people I'd ever seen.
yes indeed he was I remember when I worked at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel in Philly back the early 80's we spotted him & his wife having dinner in one of the hotel restaurants one night....one of my co-workers just happened to be playing Grover's "Reed Seed" 8 Track back in the kitchen so we asked the waiter could he ask Grover to autograph the 8 Track for us & of course he did I also got my picture taken with him when he popped up one night to sit in with his protégés Pieces Of A Dream for a few sets he was always so gracious & humble
My father loved Grover, AND Pieces of a Dream! I heard so many of these classics growing up. I know he's still enjoying him some Grover up in heaven. Love you dad!
First heard Mr Magic in 1977 when I was stationed in Japan in the Marines. Black Frost, Knucklehead, Reed Seed, Loren’s Dance on & on. Had all his albums. Him & Jr Walker some of the BEST on the Sax.
I snagged a front-row center single seat at the last minute for one of his rare appearances here in Santa Barbara. It still stands as one of the very best concert performances I have ever attended.
My favorite saxophonist. I can recall hearing him for first time in Lake Charles, LA years ago. Miss him but still listen to him. A great performer. RIP Grover.
Mesmerizing, Masterful, Pieces of a dream all of Grover's compositions are, never to be loved by adoring fan base he amast during his career shear genius R.I.P. my Brother.
Caught him in Shreveport LA with his band Locksmith We gave him a STANDING O after each jam he replied by saying SHREVEPORT HUH WOW he was the GREATEST
GW jr was friends with me father in law, along with Dexter(who you can tell he's close with in this video ), Billy Paul and the guy who wrote "Sade". Great group of men 😥
The chord changes in this cut (Winelight) are mesmerizing. It was the dream of this 1980s bass player to learn them by heart, and make his own signature statement every time this one was called. Nearly forty years later, and I still get chills whenever I hear or play it. Thank you Grover, my brother. For all the music, all the inspiration, all the memories, (especially meeting you between sets at the Blue Note, NYC back in '88) your musical legacy has transcended into immortality. 👑🎷
incredible! the band had some kind of groove thumpin that nite, and Grover climbed right on top of it. amazing chemistry. i saw Grover and Aretha more than any two artists in my life. i feel them both every day. they still here y'all.
Yes. Pieces of A Dream! They were all babies then. I loved them then and still love them to this day! Even though Cedric is no longer one of the original members... I still love him too. Of course the one and only Mr. Grover Washington Jr. Thank you all for your wonderful gifts of music!
Nice man, my father-in-laws friends (along with Billy Paul). They used to be in the office, chilling and drinking while u was working. Very nice man. My favorite piece, (along with my father in law). He kills this!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! At 35:05 Grover pays tribute to renowned Japanese saxophonist SADAO WATANABE--who I dubbed the Grover Washington of Japan when featuring his cuts on my radio show in 2007! RIP Grover Washington Jr.
By way of New York homegrown in my city Philadelphia. Grover lived on Edgewood street. He and my uncle were friends until my uncle left and went into the service in 1966.
Man... I'm just loving this. This remind of my high school days and college. I will Love to find this on DVD...... MAN AWESOME. I KNOW IT'S BEEN AWHILE. BUT COME BACK TO MICHIGAN.... PLEASE.....🎷🙏❤️✌️💪
Todo evoluciona igual todo se acaba y este genio no ha sido una excepción , pero su legado es inolvidable y siempre estará ahí en lo más alto . Maravilloso Groover.
2:37am,8-24-2021. Still.listening.. was raised on Jazz and other musical genres. Studied at night,in college to smooth jazz. Thank you, UTUBE for keeping all these great artists alike.
I went to this show when they stopped in Houston, Texas.! He played 2 shows that night and they both sold out.! My friends told me if I was going with them I had to get a ticket for both shows because they were going to both of them.! It was an awesome shows just like here.! Thanks for posting.! RIP GW.!
Feel good anywhere,but essentially at 2:27am Use to study in college to late night music. so many memories. I was introduced to Jazz at a young age, because my parents were musicians and we were raised on all types of music, consequently, my family has many musicians.

This music and a glass of wine, you got it made.
That tone, technique and intonation. The undisputed master. RIP Grover, we're still listening
You are so right, and he glides through those notes whether high or slow with his same distinctive tones, an absolute master.
He’s the one and only and there will never ever be another one like him! Distinctive!
Grover,art porter and George Howard!!
I mentioned these guys because not only were they great musicians, I just think it's weird how they all played saxophone and all died pretty damned young.
Long live Najee.
George Howard toured with Grover early in his career. Grover very influential in GH approach to playing soprano sax.
R.I.P. Grover, we're still listening! We're still loving!

In Jr. High and High school I played the sax. He was my idle. I played all his music. So many memories.
Same here. I played the Tenor in high school. I saw him twice in the late seventies when I was sixteen or seventeen. Great memories.
Grover Washington Jr が日本に初めて来たときのコンサート。私行きました。比較的良い席取れた。
opening actでPieces Of A Dreamが出演、メンバーが若かったことを覚えている。
たしか、コンサートの Back Band をそのままやった記憶がある。
The good ole days. Sure do miss them.
So grateful I got to see him play on my birthday in 1992 at the Rheem Theatre in Moraga, CA and again at The Playboy Jazz Festival, Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles. Thank you for the sounds Grover, R.I.P., Much Love ❤️
The one and only Grover Washington. His music will live on forever.
Yes, it will. I met him and nevr forgot it. Remarcable Man and outstanding musician!
Yes it will! That soulful ass sound. Nothing compares
I learned to play sax from listening to him, there's no one like him, oh I miss him, he was a Special Brother.
This time was such a pleasure, with Grover, Al Jarreau, Pat Metheny, Donald Fagen and others kicking so much sweetness and light.
Je vis à Marseille et j’adore Grover. Merci.
