Our Take
If only Mr. Grover Washington Jr. were still with us, one can only imagine the sultry saxophone serenades he'd be blessing our ears with. Alas, we have to make do with his past recordings, like this gem of an album "Sacred Kind of Love." From the very first track, you can feel the smooth jazz vibes oozing out of your speakers like melted chocolate. Washington Jr.'s saxophone skills are unparalleled, weaving effortlessly between the melodies with a finesse that can only come from years of experience. It's like being whisked away on a musical adventure, where every note is a new discovery and every riff is a delightful surprise. But it's not just Washington Jr. who steals the show on this album. The backing band is tight, the production is slick, and the overall atmosphere is one of pure musical ecstasy. It's the kind of album that you put on when you want to relax, unwind, and just let the music wash over you like a warm, soothing bath. So, if you're in the mood for some top-notch jazz that'll make you want to grab a glass of wine, sink into a comfy armchair, and just let the music take you away, then "Sacred Kind of Love" is the album for you. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

With a career spanning over four decades, Washington Jr. has solidified himself as one of the most influential figures in the smooth jazz genre.

So, the next time you find yourself in an elevator, grooving to the smooth sounds of Grover Washington Jr., just remember - there's more to this saxophonist than meets the ear.
