Notes:  Some very mellow, smooth jazz for that late night glass of wine with a friend. Don't let the easy sound of this recording fool you, one look at the innersleeve photo and you know that Grover has put his all into the music he plays. Some vocal work by Bill Withers adds a nice touch to the project as well. A few soft focus pictures and a starlight filter to set the mood for the melodies within and the night is young. Chill another bottle and get back over here on the couch…
