New York-born and Boston-bred, emerging saxophonist, composer, and educator Gregory Groover Jr has already left an indelible mark in the jazz world, in a short period. Saxophonist Walter Smith III describes him as “a thematic musician, who’s playing very much relates to the song. He plays with a lot of energy, and he leads with that.
