Best of ...Both Worlds: Grover Washington Jr.

06 december 2005

Grover Washington Jr.

De Amerikaanse saxofonist en jazzmusicis Grover Washington Jr. (12 december 1943) heeft talloze smooth-jazz-albums gemaakt maar werd vooral bekend door het nummer "Just the two of us" dat hij samen met Bill Wihers opnam en dat in de jaren '80 een wereldhit werd.

Zijn carriere liep over vier decennia, van zijn eerste album "Inner City Blues" (1971) via de jazz classic "Mr. Magic" tot zijn met een Grammy bekroonde album "Winelight", dat hem onsterfelijk maakte door zijn enige single-hit.

Washington is op 17 december 1999 na afloop van televisie- opnamen in New York City overleden. In de kleedkamer kreeg hij een fatale hartaanval. Hij werd 56 jaar.
