5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest, October 23, 2000

By

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Anthology is a copulation of the greatest hits from perhaps the greatest Sax player ever. Every song on this Album is a masterpiece, and well worth the money spent. There are so many timeless classics on This two CD set, like "Georgia On My Mind" and "Ain't No Sunshine." My only complaint would be the fact "Winelight" was not included, but I own the CD so not too much of a loss. If you love Jazz, especially if you love the sax, I highly recommend this album. I would also recommend with this album that you buy "Anthology (Elektra)" as well as "Winelight" you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Masterpiece....., February 20, 2000

By A Customer

This CD is without a doubt a compulation of some of the greatest Grover tracks ever recorded! "Ain't no sunshine, and Georgia on my mind are tearjerkers. No one can play a saxophone and make it sing the way GW, Jr did and I don't think anyone ever will. I've had this CD since it came out and never do I or my husband leave home without it. Grover Washington,Jr: We miss you, we love you...Rest in peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational! Sensational! Sensational!, January 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Saxophone playing is an art form in and of itself. Reflecting on all the wonderful saxophone players, both alive and dead, it is hard to think or imagine a saxophone player that has demonstrated more feeling, artistry, and unique interpretation of timeless classics as Grover has on this CD. Sure there have been others, Coltrane, Parker, Adderley, Webster, Hawkins, and even some would argue that Joshua Redman would fall into that category. But if you truly listen to the music, Grover is without doubt, one of the most soulful players to ever grace the music world. And believe me, I've listened to a lot of music. This CD will become a part of your desert island collection, those CDs that if push comes to shove, you can't live without. Enjoy!
