The Urban Knights is an all-star smooth, soul and R&B jazz band which features one of the jazz greats, pianist Ramsey Lewis. Their first self-titled debut album in 1995 included prominent musicians Grover Washington, Jr., Omar Hakim, Victor Bailey and the Emotions to name a few. Other great musicians have collaborated throughout the years with the Urban Knights such as Maurice White (Earth, Wind & Fire), saxophonists Gerald Albright, Najee, Kenny Garrett and Dave Koz, guitarists Jonathan Butler, Norman Brown, Earl Klugh, Bobby Broom and Fareed Haque. In 2000, Urban Knights III, was the supergroup's first album for the Narada label out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Grover Washington, Jr. (December 12, 1943 - December 17, 1999)[1] was an American jazz-funk / soul-jazz saxophonist. Along with George Benson, John Klemmer, David Sanborn, Bob James, Chuck Mangione, Herb Alpert, and Spyro Gyra, he is considered by many to be one of the founders of the smooth jazz genre.[citation needed] He wrote some of his material and later became an arranger and producer.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Washington made some of the genre's most memorable hits, including "Mister Magic," "Reed Seed," "Black Frost," "Winelight," "Inner City Blues" and "The Best is Yet to Come". In addition, he performed very frequently with other artists, including Bill Withers on "Just the Two of Us" (still in regular rotation on radio today), Patti LaBelle on "The Best Is Yet to Come" and Phyllis Hyman on "A Sacred Kind of Love". He is also remembered for his take on the Dave Brubeck classic "Take Five", and for his 1996 version of "Soulful Strut".
Washington had a preference for black nickel-plated saxophones made by Julius Keilwerth. These included a SX90R alto and SX90R tenor. He also played Selmer Mark VI alto in the early years. His main soprano was a black nickel plated H.Couf Superba II (also built by Keilwerth for Herbert Couf) and a Keilwerth SX90 in the last years of his life.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner For Very Very Magnificent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check the classic/signature Grover tones in the "close-out" phrasing at 7:01 - after the amazing interplay with Butler. Shows his sophistication and grace, even when bringing a song to a close. I dont know anything technical about it, just seemed perfect for the song and perfectly Grover.
Soo smooth n soo mellow...4 ever grateful for the gift Mr Grover Washington Jr 🙌🏾
I remember buying this CD because I was an and still am an Omar Hakim fan and went to HS with Victor Bailey (RIP) and enjoying every song> The music was just inspiring to me as a musician.
Amazing! I've loved this song since it was released in the 90's. So satisfying to see a live performance especially as it's only a few months since Ramsey Lewis passing. Thank you so much for sharing this video!!
R.I.P. Grover Washington, Jr.

Butter. That bass playing made me go out and buy one to mirror this.
Peace on, Ramsey Lewis.....!
The best natural acoustic sound on soprano, tenor and baritone is Grover's.
There is neither echo nor reverb over-use in his performances - be it RnB, Funk, Fusion, Blues, Jazz....
Fire
REST IN PEACE GROVER WASHINGTON Jr

Oh my lord, that sister in the middle!!!!

LOL I love Ramsey Lewis's reaction @6:31! Almost like he didn't expect Grover to react to Butler's vocal cords! RIP Grover Washington Jr; I lost a younger brother to the same illness as your; except he was 16. God Bless you.

Emocionante demais
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!
I have never seen Grover perform. I have this album and wanted to see him perform "The Rose.
"
I knooooow this song!
Sensacionais, simples assim!!!!
...Ramsey Lewis on the keys...Jonathan Butler...Grover...similar to the Urban Knights II lineup
Najee took Grover's place
Maravilloso placer para el alma y el cuerpo.
oh yeah, JB's signature scatting
This was my favorite song from the CD sans Jonathan but man he came in and took it to the next level with his adlibbing and guitar work. And I think they knew it too because he was on the next release. Jonathan is the MAN. You can tell this was totally improvised....look at the back up singers.
I thought I was the only one that caught the background singers lol especially the one on the (R) far end she just stopped and took pause it was like she forgot she was working. I'm laughing now as I remember that.
Sugastack Awesome
wow
just Grover is cool
Grover
is that JB on guitar?
wow the 90's how I miss it what is the name of the jazz location in DC?
BLUES ALLEY
