Pour Some Wine, Light A Candle and enjoy .......2006-12-10

Marvin, Teddy and Luther: A Smooth Urban Jazz Love features a nice twist on some of the most beloved slow jams from three premier balladers. Standouts include David Mann's covers of Luther's So Amazing & If Only For One Night. The disc is geared around slow and steady seduction -- a sexy dance followed by whatever the listener has in mind later for his or her dance partner. There's something particularly innovative or unique in the arrangements of these ballads. Everybody loves these songs, and they provide spotlights for the principal musicians while making for some nice late-night soul swaying.

Cheesy........2006-03-12

I have found that most tribute albums are lame and why not just listen to the original. This one is cheesy.
But there are exceptions.
So when I first heard about the project of a tribute to Grover Washington , I thought how do you cover God, because Grover was like a God to contemporary jazz.
WOW! What an album! OK, nobody had to write any songs on this, but they all put their own spin on each song and did a fabulous job.
Jason Miles produced this fresh off two grammy nominees for his 2000 release tribute CD to Ivan Lins ( Sting won for his version of "She Walks This Earth" while Grover was nominateed for "Cameleo " ).
First the lineup is just stellar: Regina Belle , Gerald Albright, Russ Freeman, Ronnie Laws with Sounds Of Blackness, Herbie Mann, Tom Schuman and Jeff Mironov, Dave Koz, Everette Harp, Steve Cole, George Duke, Mark Whitfield, Richard Elliot, Jay Beckenstein with Dean Brown, Paul Taylor with Peter White, Chuck Loeb with Dave Mann, Chaka Khan, Greg Philinganes with the New York Philharmonic String Section, and Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Joe Sample with Joey Defrancesco.
If you'd pick up an album with all of these guys on it and it wasn't all Grover tunes you'd buy it! In fact you'd probably have a huge grin on your face and tell half the store about your lucky find on the way to the cash register. So now imagine all these guys playing their version of all these great Grover tunes like: "Just The Two Of Us" , "Winelight", " East River Drive" , "Inner City Blues ", " Come Morning " , " Let It Flow" and more.
I can see you smiling and saying yeah I'd buy it and you should. " To Grover , with Love " is magnificent ! It's good. It's great.
It's deadly gorgeous !!

One for the collection.......2006-02-11

This Cd is so hot that, you need to leave in the freezer. Every thing from luther is great and teddy stuff is not to bad but you won't get euff of TKO.

That special night.......2004-09-23

After listening to " Marvin, Teddy, and Luther " one realizes just how talented these three gentlemen are and the power that went into the lyrics and music performed by these three superstars. Wine, soft lights, and that special someone are what's required to enjoy this cd. Enjoy
