Grover Washington Jr. - Make Me A Memory (Sad Samba)

[@rockintetster]

His Winelight album is the perfect pop/jazz crossover album. I've listened to it thousands of times and I never get tired of it.

[@vicentecatalan1261]

Totally agree, timeless masterpiece.

[@donahue478]

My memory of hearing this was in 1982. I just moved to Oakland after being discharged from Air force and was riding in the back seat of a 1982 Buick Park Ave going over the San Francisco bay bridge at night seeing the beautiful lights and awesome view of San Francisco. It made a memory.

[@benwilliams4424]

RIP..Grover Washington..Still one of the best jazz player's.

[@kriscricri248]

Yes.

[@gabeeskridge8291]

He is forever in his top stop all time homie for soulful expressive playing. A healer of the HIGHEST ORDER!

[@Mslja89]

My mother who recently died from Lou Gehrig's disease used to play this when I was a kid. Been loving this man's music since I was 10! Great memory!

[@MichaVelli1983]

[@lathanhill6854]

A great guitarist

[@jtmateen]

Grover Washington Jr is the reason I fell in LOVE with the sax and JAZZ I remeber long vacation rides with my family as a youngster listening to Grover and various other jazz greats thanks DAD for loving and listening to jazz

[@playsjazz2]

Grover played the alto saxophone like he was making love to a beautiful woman whom he had chased for a long time, and finally nailed....! Thanks for video Marks6338

[@jared9920]

lol

[@MIZZdarkerPerspective]

I remember meeting this man at a place by the beach called the Strand. I was rude to him at first because I was really angry at my then boyfriend. He brushed it off and bought m table drinks and paid for our dinner. it was my birthday..After his set he came and sat with us and we had a wonderful time.. He told me any man that for got my birthday didn't deserve me. we agreed.. I dumped dude as a gift to myself.. RIP Grover love u.

[@Alvin276]

I have most of Grover's albums and have seen him twice in concert. Both times, I saw him I experienced unforgettable and supreme joy. He gives 110% to his fans. When it comes to tender, light, emotion-filled expression he is second to none. There might be a couple others Jazz giants who are more technically superior, but he's number ONE in touching the listener by bringing to life the beauty we know in our minds but so seldom hear or feel.

[@size15shoe]

smoother than cake icing.... I remember my uncle wearing this album out when i was little.. The main reason why i still bump Grover Washington to this day.. especially his vinyl album mister magic.. RIP my friend

[@Sax_Soul_Brother]

Grover was blessed with that fantastic gift playin´ his sax so soulfully like no other player I know. But of course, also a fantastic band !!! May U B with GOD now !!!!

[@argaretbea]

Here in England in the 80s I fell in love with another man. I played this track endlessly, which makes it a bitter-sweet reminder now. Ultimately we got together and then I lost him to young-onset Alzheimer's. Music has such power. When I play this we're still around.

[@seanoleary8438]

Timeless and one of a kind! Such expression when he plays. Close your eyes and absorb every note!

[@Keyboardman88]

MY two favorite sax players; Grover Washington Jr. and John Klemmer. Sad Samba, Let it Flow, Mr. Magic, and Klemmer's "Touch have got to be the best of the best.

[@michaledavissr.4661]

George Howard

[@donahue478]

Idris Muhammad, David Sanborn and many others but Grover Washington was the pioneer who opened the door to my musical jazz appetite.

[@FlyinS4]

I can remember over the years many people having negative things to say about Grover's music- but one thing about it, his was outstanding then and it is great now, without a doubt. My wife and I have enjoyed seeing Grover and the Fellas a many a time, but one the most treasured was at Villa Montalvo with some great friends-four couples drove up from Los Angeles to enjoy a jazz filled weekend. Long live the music of Grover Washington and the Fellas.

[@LadyMamaAlive]

Grover makes that Sax talk to us. He is the MASTER at smooth, cool, soulful JAZZ!!!!!

[@MsTexas73]

Although I was literally raised up on 70s jazz...Grover was the one that made me a jazz ADDICT...just listen to this? and THIS particular song from this particular lp was SOOO popular *as was the whole lp* that it made it to the soap operas..>General Hospital to be exact....if played on daytime tv...it was a hit!

[@keithjackson4302]

Love hearing this music missing so much he had some of the best chance I got the meeting in person at the Fox theater in Detroit he's truly been missed happen to be working backstage at the fox in Detroit Michigan that we have to protect the stage and the equipment along with George Duke and Stanley Clarke TECO mansui it was a host of jazz artist that you can never forget I mean it was just down to earth when they told me it passed it was so sad like Sade another good jazz artist people just don't understand working at the Fox theater in Detroit behind the scenes were amazing and then watch them go on stage and perform was even more amazing the light that I had and understand at the artist was just working to make ends meet it Tiffany was in jazz to sit back and talk to George Duke and always wonder how come you only have one guess he said man I'm just waiting on my niece that's the only guess I got so every time he came we would always sit down and talk and laugh until this niece showed up and I will go down and get her and bring her back up to the dressing room I truly miss those days I never thought that I would ever meet people like that in my lifetime God is truly a blessed me like in the picture you see me with Hitman hearns personal bodyguard I use that picture to let people know that I really was walking with celebrities almost every day every other day I'm truly blessed to give my story and still walk when Hitman but as a personal friend my journey has been amazing and I thank God everyday people don't understand the struggle but they understand the world and his struggles but to meet the artist from behind the scenes is totally different when they on stage and they have a family that they try to feed God is truly blessed a lot of people that I have the pleasure of being around especially jazz artists I have more fun around jazz artist and I never had around r&b artist or gospel artists and the blues artist was a total different another story when they say the blues that's exactly what they mean it's the blues like BB King Bobby Blue band so other lot of other different jazz artists nowadays they got to put 10 or 15 of them together just to get along concert to fill the Halls the last artist I was with was tevin Campbell he's starting to blow up he's the only one I know that can still feel the stadium and don't need a bunch of artists with him everybody is singing his song everywhere I'm just I haven't seen him in concert yet but I know it's coming

[@kb420ps]

Philadelphia's own Grover Washington Jr. May he rest in peace!!!!!!

[@MsTexas73]

YES!!! PBS was INFAMOUS for playing what we now call smooth jazz between their shows... Here in Cleveland it was this order though...Sesame Street ...then Mr. Rogers...then Electric Company...and can't forget 321 Contact!

[@whaymand1]

this guy was one of my mentors , cause he's emotionally connected to his playing , my saying is if you can't connect emotionally with your instrument , just be a happy listener

[@MrPartidoalto]

Eric Gale, Grover, Richard Tee and Ralph MacDonald are all gone but their music lives on.

[@robertcrawford2809]

Grover was the baddest sax player of all time. His talent will stand the test of time for years to come.

[@ming2006]

[@MsTexas73]

This is on dvd my friend...check amazon...it might be on there or ebay... Yes, it was YEARS ago when I first saw it too...addicted to his live performances....My mom saw him EVERY year here in Cleveland at the Front Row and then downtown.

[@guillermocama9077]

AMAZINGGGGGG GREAT WONDERFOUL PERFORMANCE

[@makcyber]

Heard this in Bangkok, 1981 from The Quite Storm FM. My early exposure to jazz and samba. Too naive..still brings back those memories.

[@westleedrums]

Man, Eric Gale's guitar riffs 4:29-4:41ish?? And then when Anthony Jackson picks it all up off the floor with his bass 6:30 until the end. HARD CORE

[@pianomagic3500]

this song creates deep my soul ....

[@jarbon5]

As smooth as smooth can be, yes sir!

[@carolpomper4688]

I remember this song from PBS, between Seseme Street and Electric Company.....wish I was a kid again!!!1

[@fystasjoppheng]

I love Richard Tee playing the Fender Rhodes piano. Very sweet voicing and sound. Anyone who know what effect he is using on the Rhodes? Sounds like a small stone phazer.

[@ovalie38]

Hie, Sorry if my english is bad (I live in France). It's so groovy my friend. Sorry, I,only, have some vinyls ; at their beginning with Bob James. I like them all. Thx

[@jp00349]

[@westleedrums]

Anthony Jackson has so much soul

[@ALFALAMDA1]

When live performance is better than original album. Excelent

[@doc2skate]

Grover Washington, Jr. was everywhere back in the day. Would like to say he worked too hard except for the fact that he loved the "work". The guy was putting out two or three albums a year along with performing a lot of concerts. R.I.P. Grover Washington, Jr., Eric Gale, Richard Tee, Paul Griffin and Ralph MacDonald.

[@mrmikespence1964]

JAZZMUSIC! & ITS JAZZMUSIC LEGENDS! ARE "THE" BEST!

[@MichaVelli1983]

Real jazz masters

[@fystasjoppheng]

I,m agree with you. He is the king of fender rhodes piano with the very beautiful sweet sound and nice chords/rythm. He died pretty young.

[@Justice777Allah]

KENNY G?????????? Don't say that dude's name in the same breath with Jazz legends.

[@Dublin_N]

Grover invented smooth jazz. Kenny G killed smooth jazz.

[@raulamaral1694]

Aqui no Brasil tens uma legião de fãs, na qual me incluo. Podia nos dar a satisfação de ouvi-lo por aqui. Temos alguma chance?

[@pobox915]

Grover Washington jr is the King.

Thank you!

Tu tienes el derecho a tu propia opinion, pero hay algo que no se puede negar; La musica de Grover vivira por siempre. En las almas y los corazones de sus admiradores. No crees?

[@CoreaKixx420]

Alway's appreciate eric gale....but lest we forget the gentleman on the skins. another legend by the name of steve gadd. oh yeah.

[@asirua3589]

NO HUBIERA FUNCIONADO. DEMASIADA FASCINACIÓN. PERO NO TE IMAGINAS...... LO QUE HUBIERÁMOS HECHO JUNTOS..... PARA PONERSE A TEMBLAR.

[@MichaVelli1983]

Nobody can touch him

[@free2bpoppie]

Eric gale was brilliant! If you want to hear his stuff shine, take listen to his rythm work on "Storm King", by Bob Jmaes! That choppy but smooth overlay, is bad as he.. well you get my drift!

[@jp00349]

Esa es la diferencia entre quien toca y quien escucha música: la versión original, 'lenta', está grabada y regrabada en estudio, con tiempo para corregir, quitar y poner. En este directo se comprenden los músicos sobre la marcha,y crean a cada segundo ese espacio invisible donde un músico se siente seguro y se deja llevar por su talento llamado 'groove'. Y si sabes quiénes son Steve Gadd, Tony Jackson, Eric Gale, Richard Tee, Ralph MacDonald, Grover... bueno, si lo sabes, te callas y disfrutas.

[@modsoulman]

it is on winelight 6min32sec superb.

[@asirua3589]

MAY BE..... NEXT UNIVERSE... MY LOVE.

[@MsTexas73]

You MUSt start at least with Mister Magic and listen to all of his lps in succession...they REALLY do blend one right into the other...TRY IT.
