Grover Washington, Jr. has been considered by many to be the founding father of smooth jazz and a master of the jazz-funk genre.
He is blamed for bringing Kenny G to the forefront,
but also credited with bringing such smooth jazz artists as Walter Beasley, Steve Cole, Pamela Williams, Najee, George Howard and The Philadelphia Experiment.
