Grover Washington, Jr.: Let it Flow (For "Dr. J")

The late Grover Washington, Jr. loved basketball, particularly the Philadelphia 76ers, and his album Winelight features a tribute to 76ers legend Julius Dr. J Erving that is, by turns, graceful and driving. Opening smoothly with a sweet melody and a gentle groove, the tune soon escalates into a furious jam, Washingtons rapid-flow sax work offset by Marcus Millers funky bass. An elegant tribute to a great player thats well worth checking out.
