One of the Top 10 film scorers of his generation, Dave Grusin is possibly even more renowned as a Jazz artist and co-founder of GRP Records. Grusin’s musical career has been distinguished by a mastery over a diverse range of styles, counterbalanced by a touch at the piano which makes his keyboard signature totally unique. His first Jazz-related release in seven years features Patti Austin, Jon Secada, Monica Mancini, Gary Burton, Arturo Sandoval, Nestor Torres, Sammy Figueroa and the 75-piece Mancini Orchestra. The eminent producer director Sydney Pollack, with whom Grusin has collaborated on nine films, summed it up succinctly with the words, he can do anything, and he has done everything.
