5.0 out of 5 stars Among The Best In Jazz, January 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Winelight (Audio CD)

This is one of my favorite jazz albums and one of the few LPs I could easily tolerate listening to despite the surface noise and hisses, until I finally purchased the CD. Like a fine wine that lingers lightly on the palate, these mellow melodies enrapture my spirit and make me feel a bit light-headed whenever I listen to them. Grover Washington plays the sax effortlessly, making the notes sound as smooth as silk. Never sour, glarring, or over-bearing, his musical notes wrap one in a warm afterglow--long after the melodies have ended, the magic lingers on. If you like mellow jazz, you can't miss with this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Classic Smooth Jazz, October 27, 2004

There are certain pieces of work that must be included in any decent music collection no matter what your taste in music. We usually refer to these as "classics". "Winelight" is one of those. A delight from beginning to end! More than just fine musical workmanship and technique, Mr. Washington captures the soul and essence of each melody. I first owned this album on vinyl, then moved to tape, and finally CD. Put this album on when you are feeling mellow and want to find a content mood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exudes Hypnotic Brilliance, June 16, 2000

It would be criminal to say a word wrong about this cd or to give it anything less than five stars. This is seriously good stuff and one, in my opinion, for the history books. This album is born of Heaven where now, very regretably, Grover resides. The music exudes sheer brilliance and its totally hypnotic, you want to listen to it time and time again. If your passionate about Grover Washington this is the one cd you HAVE to own!
