This was the last recording for Creed Taylor’s Kudu imprint the label which propelled Grover to superstardom. Grover had released a series of brilliant Jazz Funk albums (esp ‘Mister Magic’ and ‘Feels So Good’). His band Locksmith were tight and together and Grover ‘live’ combined his tuneful sax playing with improvisation and ferocity at times that is breathtaking. ‘Bijou’ includes 2 cracking Jazz Fusion classics ‘Sausalito’ and ‘Summer Song’. Cuts like ‘On The Cusp’,’Lock It In The Pocket’ the jazzy ‘You Make Me Dance’ and ‘Juffure’ reflect a legend at the top of his game. Theirs also a 20 min version of ‘Mr Magic’. This one of the best ‘live’ sets’ ever and a must for Grover and Jazz Funk fans alike.
