    Loved his music madly❤❤❤...RIP 🥀

    I grew up playing Texas blues, funk and soul and am a groove oriented drummer. My favorite drummer is Bernard Purdie and favorite groove is the half time shuffle which (depending on how it’s played) can be a very busy groove.
    Then there’s Steve Gadd… his grooves often take the opposite approach. He will use the space created by NOT hitting a drum or cymbal to accentuate a groove. Outstanding musician and an American treasure. As are all of these musicians.
    How awesome would it be to play with Grover! I am blessed to have been born in 70.
    Great video.

    I had the good fortune to see Grover live six months before he passed. It was a dream for me to see and hear the man I'd worshiped for decades play. He did not disappoint. What was even more amazing than his musicianship was the sense you got that he was happy to be playing for you. A musical genius. A nice man.

    A lot of respect to the late Eric Gale on guitars 👍👍👍👍👍. Didn’t get the recognition that he deserved for being the awesome guitarist that he was . His stint with his group ‘Stuff’ and his solo albums are still full of his skilled playing . Long live his sound , his music ,his talent. He needs to be honored.

    I remember the day I heard that Grover had passed from a massive heart attack. I was a cop back then, working in Manhattan, generally annoyed & pissed off at how my life had turned out. The token clerk in the subway station had a radio inside the booth so when I heard the DJ cut in with the news, it crushed & staggered me nearly to my knees. I would've cried right there had I not been in public view. Grover had gotten me through some tough times when I was in college, struggling, & I remembered how inspired & uplifted he made me feel EVERY single time I heard him play. He could've p His band he needed tlayed the scales & I would've been moved. Guess God was a little short on sax players that day so called up Grover to come home. Our grievous loss.

    I saw Grover live twice. Most exciting live performances ever. He was the BEST!

      I saw him the summer of 1999 on Long Island live. Amazing.

      Tried chasing his gigs down in the 1970s, hit close. I was in the business at the age of 21.
      My ears were graced by the greatest of the best. Met a lot musicians along the way who molded much of the way the roadless traveled wins the day. Thanks for listening.

    Got introduced to jazz in college in 1980 and Grover was my first taste of the sweetness of smooth jazz ! ! Studied many a night with his music in the background. This music is timeless ! ! A true legend ! !

    My number-one sax player, the late Mr. Washington. The man responsible for turning me, as a young teen, into a jazz fan. Thank you for your lasting musical legacy. I was honored to see you perform live, at Wolf Trap, shortly before God called you home.
