Bilbo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The Dave Grusin CD of 'West Side Story' is top drawer. I love it from the moment it starts to the moment it stops. Fantastic players across the band, great playing, great arrangements. Gloria Estafan's 'Tonight' is beautiful. Dave Valentin (and Grusin) on 'I Feel Pretty'. All stunning stuff. All for £5.69.....

jakenewmanbass Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 WOW, I love Grusin's arranging, his best attribute, and he's a damn fine pianist too... Pattitucci's Pollmann sounds awesome and the whole thing is really swinging, great great playing. Thanks Garry Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has written some top draw scores and has a unique playing style. You just know its him. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
