    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.

    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.

      @ Don't sleep on McDonald. This man has created several well known household songs. Gadd is a master though. He and Jeff Porcaro were the two best drummers around this time in my opinion.

      @fusionfan6883 2 роки тому +1

      This is a really difficult for me as I love the original album track and Grover generally, but man Eric is really off on this live version. His time and phrasing is inconsistent, and certain runs just seem to die mid flow. I’m not hating on Eric, I own his solo albums, but this performance just grated for me. Btw my favourite version of Mr M is on Live at the Bijou, in fact that whole album is a high watermark for Grover.

    I had the privilege of seeing Grover in Hanford, Ca. in the middle 90's. It was a soaring, beautiful, wonderful show!! Mister Magic, with Grover prancing up and down the outdoor aisles, it was magnificent. And like many others, I was introduced to Grover Washington by a college friend when this album came out, which led to my continued enjoyment of smooth/contemporary jazz ever since. RIP GWjr.
