What an amazing recording! It comes in a gorgeous collector's edition digipak, packed with liner notes and photographs. This is Grover in all his glory.

He plays with such splendid intensity, deep soul, funk & groove, and passion. He's a true genius at melody and improvisation. Superb audio quality, and a feast of his biggest hits played live. It's a lot of music, about 80 minutes - and conversation. To hear the warmth of Grover's voice makes this such a special experience.

Close your eyes and imagine you're in a concert hall with one of the greatest musicians of all time, backed by his talented touring band. Then you realize that Grover Lives On in all of us. Keep this spirit alive in the world. Turn your friends on to the magic. A Must have album! Long live Grover Washington Jr. in our hearts and on our stereo systems!

Thank you to his family and the producer Jason Miles for making this happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Missing Grover, May 22, 2010

By 

Baxter Churchill "Baxter" (Marina Del Rey,Cas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grover Live (Audio CD)

I just got my CD copy of Grover Live.. Not only is the music on this CD just superb but the packaging is also excellent. It is first rate. There are excellent and detailed liner notes and it just adds to the classiness of this package. The most important thing however is the music and the music and performances on this CD is nothing less than stunning. Grover shows why he was so loved and admired. His performances are masterful and the band lives up to his performances. We get to hear Winelight,Let It Flow,Soulful Strut, Mr Magic and his brilliant improvising and famous sound of his live for the first time on disk in 30 years since Live at The Bijou.It is so distinct-not like many players of today where you can't recognize one from the other. From bar 1 you know it's Grover. The CD is very emotional as you also get Grover talking to the audience and making you feel like he's playing this music for you. You wind through so many great moments. From an amazing performance of Sassy Stew to a medley of his hits It is all here. Grover was a big part of the story of our lives. His music back in the day was in my life everyday. The fact that this is a live CD of almost 80 minutes of music with no dead time or filler makes you see the genius that he was. This is as close to perfection as you cane get

An essential CD to own and one that you will be playing over and over again.

Hi everyone! We are really excited about all of the feedback from all media! This was a labor of love... 10+ years in the making. We had to edit the concert down which was really hard but we feel like we got the true essence of who my father was on stage. It was a TEAM effort! Much love and respect to everyone involved.

I love it! My daughters... Grover's grandchildren, go to sleep to this cd and love it as well. Thank you to all the fans who haven't forgotten great music and an even better man! Enjoy!
