It includes Bill Withers' Grammy Award winning song \"Just the Two of Us,\" and other well-executed smooth jazz compositions. Washington has long been one of the leaders in R\u0026amp;B-influenced jazz, and this album consolidates his claim to fame as one of the fathers of this often misunderstood sub-genre.\nSteve Gadd's smart drumming gives each song a relaxed, infectious groove. The saxophonist really unwinds on tunes such as \"Let it Flow (for \"Dr. J.)\" and \"Make Me a Memory (Sad Samba),\" improvising over a soulful blend of blues, jazz, and pop, a combination both accessible to mainstream pop listeners and musically compelling to jazz fans.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/25\/1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grover Washington Jr.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562266882281,"sku":"8DT6WE-S3O5-00","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Grover-Washington-Jr-WINELIGHT_zOXN4.jpg?v=1740708677","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/grover-washington-jr-winelight","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
