One of the top ten 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 award-winning film scores include On Golden Pond, Tootsie, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Goonies, and more, along with tributes to the music of George Gershwin, Henry Mancini and Leonard Bernstein. His first jazz-related release in seven years features Patti Austin, Jon Secada, Monica Mancini, Gary Burton, Arturo Sandoval, Nestor Tories, 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, The can do anything, and he has done everything. DVD, Blu-ray and iPad App are in development.

Special Features

• The Genius of Grusin (1080i; 9:24) is a brief career overview with several interview segments interspersed throughout some rudimentary biographical data. Dave talks about how he got started in film and television scoring and there are passing nods to his jazz career, specifically his formation of GRP with Larry Rosen.
• The Red Light Players (1080i; 9:40) might lead you to believe they're talking about the lighting scheme used in abundance throughout this concert, but instead it's an allusion to the red light that goes on in a recording studio when "tape" (or a hard drive) is rolling, upping the professionalism considerably. It's a great look at the fantastic band supporting Dave and soloists on this outing.
• iPad Apps are really pretty impressive, including a wealth of information, interviews and other goodies not available on the Blu-ray. Hey, what gives?
