This is one of Grover Washington Jr.'s best-loved recordings and considered a classic of r&bish jazz. All four songs (which includes Billy Strayhorn's "Passion Flower") are quite enjoyable but it is "Mister Magic" that really caught on as a major hit. Bob James provided the colorful if somewhat commercial arrangements, there are spots for guitarist Eric Gale, and Washington (mostly on tenor and soprano) is heard in particularly creative form. Highly recommended.

...vooooodoooo...
ah yes...
grover washington, jr.
mister magic... ...this is that thang here! that 70's jazz-funk is a beautiful thang yall!!! brother gro' done did some damage with this one!
i have a couple other grover cd's but mostly his late 80's work... but this time period was a good time for urban music (until disco blew up and jus got outrageous! - but disco grew outta this type of stuff...)
i love hip hop and sampled music, but this is where that stuff finds its origins: grown folks with real instruments workin up a sweat!
can you dig it???
