With sin in half

By and large, the eighties of the last century is a crime against good music. For example, with jazz, this decade was quite dashing, since it was then that the commercially successful Smooth Jazz format appeared - the music of Jappi, elevators, loft and bed scenes in pop -up cinema. The 1980s seemed to have passed, but Smooth Jazz remained. The main character of the genre - Kenny Ji - is still an idol of millions. However, we will be objective: not everything that Smooth Jazz is poppy, cloying and mediocre. Not all the music suitable for dinner by candlelight is hopeless. Further - 9 albums Smooth Jazz, which can be listened to without candles.

Strictly speaking, the Saxophonist Grover Washington is not a one hundred percent poplist. He played different music. But it so happened that it was he who recorded the exemplary smooth Jazz ' Winelight album, which is beautiful from the first to the last track. Six verified compositions: bright melodies, an elastic sexual infusion, the game of Washington himself - all this does not age and does not fade. In 1982, the musician received a Grammy Award for this record in the category "Best performance of jazz and Fuzhn." Also, it is on this album that the unconditional hit “Just the Two of US” , which Bill Whiters sang .
