Music reviews of An Evening With

Music Review: An Evening with Dave Grusin (Blu-ray)
Rating: 5 Stars

YOU shouldn't miss this long awaited wonderful concert if you're a lover of film score or jazz because it's an extraordinary evening not only just formally performed by the original composer on the stage but also offer interaction with his guests plus narration; personal feelings; rehearsal sessions & interviews to allow home audiences enjoy very much! It's gorgeous and marks the history. The talent of his frequent (GRP) partner, producer Larry Rosen is also remarkable!

The only comment I had, the concert via BLU-RAY was too short (about 1 hour more). Maestro Grusin should demonstrate more his own pieces like timeless classic The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter via the young musicians Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra or at least a Medley of his many other great works like The Champ; Heaven Can Wait; Havana; 3 Days of the Condor; Bobby Deerfield; Goodbye Girl, St. Elsewhere; Night Lines, etc........ His winning score Milagro Beanfield War should be included in BLU-RAY as same as CD. We fully understand that it might be commercial decision or selling strategy to differentiate between CD; BLU-RAY and iTunes App. Maestro Grusin wants continue pay tribute to his favourite Gershwin & Bernstein with more entertained jazz elements via his guests in which he already did exhibit his fireworks through Gershwin Connection (CD - 1991) and Dave Grusin presents West Side Story (DVD - 1997) before.

Thanks Grusin & Rosen, I dreamed this kind of film music concert since 80s. Dave Grusin is my most favourite American film composer (France - Georges Delerue and Italy - Ennio Morricone) and he's an all-rounded musician - composer, arranger, orchestrator, conductor, pianist and also a brilliant producer - attention to details (ie: The Orchestral Album; Cinemagic; Two Worlds & Amparo, etc....). The drawback of this terrific evening is limited to audiences equipped Blu-ray or iTunes App only and of course CD. It's too bad no DVD!!

Description of An Evening With

If you've spent any time at all in a movie theater or in front of a TV set during prime time over the past four decades, chances are good you've encountered Dave Grusin along the way. In addition to a formidable body of work as a jazz recording artist, this pianist, composer, arranger, and winner of 10 Grammys, an Oscar, and has scored some of the most entertaining and enduring films of the past half-century, including The Graduate, Three Days of the Condor, On Golden Pond, Tootsie, The Champ, Milagro Beanfield War, The Firm, and many others. On the small screen, Grusin composed scores and themes for It Takes a Thief, The Bold Ones, Maude, Baretta, St. Elsewhere and other popular TV series. His jazz recordings have topped the charts for the past three decades.

Grusin steps out from behind the various machinations of film and television production to take center stage on An Evening with Dave Grusin, a groundbreaking live recording that captures him conducting and performing with a host of stars, and backed by the 75-piece Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami, Florida, in December 2009. The album - is a collection of 12 songs by Grusin, Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin and Henry Mancini. Guest performers on the date include Jon Secada, Patti Austin, Monica Mancini, Gary Burton, Arturo Sandoval, Nestor Torres and Sammy Figueroa.

"This recording was a great opportunity to revisit some of my previous film work," says Grusin, "as well as performing music by George Gershwin, and some material from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, two giants among American composers. And I'm especially fond of the Henry Mancini songs. Hank was a friend of mine, and a mentor who helped so many of us get into the business of film scoring."

This groundbreaking project, which is the first music performance to be simultaneously released on CD, Blu-ray, and iPad App brings together a team of world class experts. The team includes award winning producers Larry Rosen and the legendary Phil Ramone; multi-Grammy winning recording engineers Eric Shilling and Frank Filipetti; and the cutting edge iPad App development team from ROBA Interactive. As Producer Phil Ramone said, "Welcome to the future of the music biz!"
