Movie Reviews of Grover Washington Jr. in Concert
Movie Review: MISTER MAGIC!
Summary: 5 Stars
The late Grover Washington Jr. was a pioneer who helped bring progressive jazz into the mainstream. His intellectual approach to his music, makes him in my eyes, one of the greatest sax players of alltime. Recorded back in 1981, this concert is nearly flawless as Grover is backed by an all-star group of studio greats including Steve Gadd[drums], Richard Tee[Keyboards], Eric Gale[guitar], Anthony Jackson[bass], and Ralph McDonald[percussion]. The absolute high point of the show is a stomping version of the classic "Mister Magic" in which the band takes turns soloing throughout. The drum and percussion rhythm section of Steve Gadd and Ralph McDonald is unbelievable as well as the guitar playing of the late Eric Gale[the grand champion of studio guitarists during that era]. Although Grover Washinton, Richard Tee and Eric Gale are no longer with us, we can still enjoy this fantastic performance thanks to this dvd and remember what a talented group Grover and his bandmates truly were. He certainly was magic!
Summary of Grover Washington Jr. in Concert
Multi Grammy Award-Winner Grover Washington, Jr. blends the best of jazz fusion, R&B, blues, funk, pop and soul to create his own innovative and distinctive musical voice. The hottest star in jazz-pop fusion, backed by an all-star band was captured in this rare concert appearance at the very peak of his powers.Grover paints the full musical spectrum. Watch him soar on "Winelight" and mesmerize us with his smash hit "Just the Two of Us." Another highlight is a moving tribute to his friend Julius "Dr. J" Erving, which is inter-woven with NBA action clips of the basketball star. His passionate version of "Make Me a Memory," written for his wife, will linger in your musical memory as well.
