• A 5CD deluxe set consisting of expanded editions of Grover Washington, Jr’s Elektra albums

• Produced by SoulMusic Records’ founder David Nathan, with first class mastering by Nick Robbins and stellar artwork by Roger Williams, ‘In The Name Of Love’ features 19 single edits assembled for the first time including the ‘A’ and ‘B’ sides of Grover’s US charted hits between 1979-1984.

• With insightful and informative commentary on each album by renowned UK journalist/essayist and author Charles Waring with quotes from famed Philadelphia producer/songwriter Dexter Wansel who worked with Grover on his ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ LP plus personal comments from two of today’s acclaimed saxophonists, Najee and Gerald Albright - who consider Grover (who passed away in 1999 at the age of 56) a major influence and inspiration

SoulMusic Records is proud to present ‘In The Name Of Love’, a musically masterful collection of five albums by the incomparable Grover Washington Jr, specifically covering his tenure with Elektra Records from 1979-1984.

Rightfully considered a pioneer and one of the most influential musicians in the smooth jazz movement that began to emerge in the early ‘70s, Grover’s stellar work as a saxophonist hit a new plateau of popular acceptance with his recordings for Elektra, highlights of which include the million-selling ‘Winelight’ LP featuring the timeless classic ‘Just The Two Of Us’ (featuring renowned singer/songwriter Bill Withers) and ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’, the title track of which features special guest Patti LaBelle.

This box set is a perfect companion to ‘Sacred Kind Of Love’, the 2019 SoulMusic Records’ anthology of Grover’s recordings for Columbia Records (SMCR5186BX).
