American Jazz Classics Dave Grusin: Subways Are For Sleeping + Piano, Strings And Moonlight First Time On CD, Limited Edition In Special Six-Panel Digipack With Inside Booklet

Eighty-six years old at this writing, American composer, arranger, producer and pianist Dave Grusin has composed many scores for feature films and television, won numerous awards for his soundtrack and record work - including an Academy Award and ten Grammy Awards - and was the co-founder of GRP Records. 

Presented here in their entireties are Grusin’s first and second LPs as a leader, A Jazz Version of the Broadway Hit ‘Subways Are for Sleeping’ (Epic LN- 3829) and ‘Piano, Strings and Moonlight’: The Many Moods of Dave Grusin’ (Epic BN-26023).

The former, recorded in a trio format with bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Don Lamond, focuses on selections from the Broadway musical Subways Are for Sleeping. The latter is a collection of standards (plus the original tune “Sara Jane”) and features the trio (with Ossie Johnson on drums replacing Lamond) with the addition of strings arranged and conducted by Grusin himself.
