This is one of Grover Washington, Jr.'s occasional strays away from R&B-oriented jazz to play in a more straightahead setting. Switching between soprano, alto and tenor, Grover is accompanied by either Tommy Flanagan or Herbie Hancock on piano during five of the eight selections and he performs such numbers as Ron Carter's "Blues for D.P.," "Stolen Moments" and "Stella by Starlight" with swing and taste. Tenor-saxophonist Igor Butman also helps out on three songs. Worth acquiring.

1. Blues for D.P. /Carter/ 
2. Just Enough /Hancock/ 
3. French Connections /Butman/
4. Something Borrowed, Something Blue/ /Flanagan
5. Lullaby for Shana Bly /Washington/
6. Stolen Moments /Nelson/
7. In a Sentimental Mood /Ellington, Kurtz, Mills/
8. Stella by Starlight /Washington, Young/
