Grover Washington, Jr - Skylarkin

tempestuality

Review by Kelly Ryder

Skylarkin, the eighth studio album by jazz saxophonist Grover Washington Jr., was released in 1980 and is still considered one of his best works. The album features a mix of smooth jazz, funk, and soul, with Washington's signature saxophone sound taking center stage.

The album opens with the upbeat and funky "Easy Loving You," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include the smooth and sultry "Love Makes It Better," the groovy "Just Enough," and the soulful "Bright Moments."

Throughout the album, Washington's saxophone playing is impeccable, showcasing his technical skills and emotional depth. The other musicians on the album, including guitarist Eric Gale and keyboardist Richard Tee, provide a solid foundation for Washington's playing, creating a cohesive and enjoyable listening experience.
