Grover Washington, JR. - Days in Our Lives/Mr. Magic

Live at the Bijou is a 1977 live album by jazz saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. It was released via Kudu Records label. Recorded live in May 1977 at the Bijou Cafe in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Released as a double album in late 1977, this album would chart number one on the Jazz albums chart and number four on the Soul album charts. This would be Grover’s last album produced by Creed Taylor. A reviewer of Dusty Groove stated “A totally great Grover Washington record – and with 25 years behind us, we really now realize how fantastic all the early Kudu sessions really were! The record was recorded live at the Bijou, and is spread out over 2 long LPs, with lots of room for tasty open-ended solos by Grover and the group“.
