Editorial Reviews

Grover's 1975 follow-up to Mister Magic , this soul-jazz classic finds the sax star painting inspired solos on a canvas of bass-thumping funk ( The Sea Lion; Knucklehead; It Feels So Good ) and dreamy landscapes like Moonstreams . --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars essential jazz-funk, March 18, 2004

This is easily one of the greatest jazz-funk albums ever, and possibly Grover's best album. His previous album "Mister Magic" gets more attention because of the classic title track that proved to be his breakthrough. However, this is THE Grover album to own. The key difference between the two albums is the bass playing from Louis Johnson (from the Brothers Johnson). His playing on "It Feels So Good" and "Hydra" is worth the price of the cd alone. This is also one of the most heavily sampled jazz albums as well. Rappers like DMX("Slippin"), Black Moon("How Many MC's"), EPMD("Underground"), K-Solo("Fugitive"), King T("Played Like a Piano"),and Guru("Slicker Than Most") have all benefited from sampling this album. You will not go wrong with this!

This is probably one of Grover Washington's most creative albums in his brilliant career! Overlooked and under-rated compared to his later (more commercialized) cds, this one was produced by the prolific Creed Taylor and arranged by the multi-talented Bob James. Every song is a full-bodied experience.

Recorded in 1975, this cd went to #1 on the Soul Charts and the Jazz Charts. Amazingly it also went to #10 on the Pop Charts. The title song was played quite often and the opening cut "The Sea Lion" made it to #1 on the Disco Charts. Grover had never been more free-spirited! A must have for Grover fans and/or those who love funky jazz.

5.0 out of 5 stars It makes me feel so good!, November 23, 2004

Gregg Edwards played Mr Magic on Soul Spectrum in the UK back in 1975 and it changed my life. I went on to buy Grovers first 10ish albums. Do not doubt that this is by far his best. It demonstrates Grovers range and virtuosity to great effect.

Mr Washington is Mr Magic. MM is obviously a classic to the original jazz funkers but as an album feels so good is by far his best album and most consistent. My favourite Grover track ever is Knucklehead (closley followed by Saulsalito from the live at the Bijou album which is my second favoutrite album). Anyway, I'm glad I now have this classic album on CD and want all you original Jazz funkers in the US and UK to buy this album to salute he who once ruled the way. Raise you glasses to the king, dead but not forgotten! Peace and love to you all. G
