This is what fans have said about To Grover With Love
"...with the list of artists to be found on " To Grover,
With Love " it looks as though many have 'come home' to show
their admiration for one of Jazz's true saxophone giants. While paying
tribute to a musician who has released an almost countless number
of disc's may prove to be a task of almost herculean proportions
they cover the basics here, and they cover them very well, thank
you ... a disc that I have simply fallen for."
"I have been playing this CD for months and I never tire of it!
This is not one of the many banal tribute albums that you can find on the market.This
is a solid gold project which numbers some of the most prestigious musicians
on the globe in cutting-edge perfomances."
"Can't understand why this excellent album is out of print in US!"
Jason Miles has become the Grammy-nominated king of tributes including
the all-star efforts: Love Affair: The Music of Ivan Lins, Celebrating
the Music of Weather Report as well as stellar Miles Davis
and Marvin Gaye homages.
Grover's influence is undeniable as this cd's attests and this reissue
is an essential part of a contemporary jazz collection.
