Time Out of Mind is a studio album by American jazz musician Grover Washington Jr.[4] The album was recorded in Philadelphia with a large band and released in 1989 via Columbia label. Phyllis Hyman was invited as a guest artist.[5]

Reception[]

Scott Yanow of AllMusic commented "One of the most electrified of Grover Washington, Jr.'s albums, this Columbia set features the popular saxophonist (who plays soprano, alto and tenor) joined by oversized rhythm sections and plenty of keyboards on a variety of funky and danceable material. Not one of Washington's more essential releases (his Columbias overall have not been that memorable), the pacesetter among r&bish saxmen is actually in fine form; if only the material were better".[1]
