These have been on top of their game for decades.

Let's put our hands together for Mr. Ritenour too please. Lee puts on a virtual clinic during this performance on how you can play so many different jazz guitar styles and genres and have tone that just drips out of the amplifier speakers.....man, can he make that classic old Gibson hollow body sing, can't me. He resonates so many of the jazz guitar greats too, especially Wes Montgomery with those octave chord grips. Outstanding guitar playing and sound both.

Couldn't agree more. Just an unbelievable musician.

[@billr3640]

Living proof that Jazz comes from a person's soul...Grusin was such a master at electronically enhancing his wonderful music!

[@Josh-yi4gr]

Grusin IS such a master, not WAS lol.. He is 84 and still jamming live (in 2018)with Lee Ritenour and they are oh sooo good

[@johnmaer]

The measure of a musician however is not solely based on artificial augmentation of sound/tone. What makes Grusin so darn excellent is that he sounds incredible on an acoustic instrument, a good piano. His soundtrack for the movie The Firm attests to his brilliance. Entire soundtrack was Grusin on piano mimicking Memphis Delta jazz and ragtime musical vibe.....no orchestra, backup band, or session guys, just the piano.

Yup, and singing along. Quite amazing.

[@RaineCarosin]

Hotter and hotter around 44.00

[@Hellen67]

who knows the song only piano?

[@maz0000]

It's Memphis Stomp from the "The Firm" soundtrack

[@Invicta0001]

Sorry, wrong, it's Grusin's composition "(Something's Telling Me) It Might Be You" from "Tootsie", lyrics by the Bergmans.

[@maz0000]

We're not talking of the same piece, I was talking of the one at 35:22. Since the title is given in the video, your answer is probably the one "God Bless America" was looking for :)

[@Invicta0001]

Sorry, it was wee in the morning when I misread.

[@andreafilipas1751]

Es de la película Tootsie con Dustin Hoffman. Toda la música de esa película es del gran Dave Grusin

[@brianbrinkman3663]

Dave Grusin creates great music, but he looks like he’d get cranky fast. I wonder if that’s true?

[@pallhe]

He strikes me as a humble, sweet guy as well as a consummate professional. He sure knows how to elicit excellence from other people, but I don't think he does it by being cranky. You lose too many good people, gigs and projects that way, anyway.

[@johnmaer]

To your point, so the story goes that Dave's mom always used to berate him when he performed and she critiqued him for his totally serious demeanor, never once cracking a smile or grin. He laughs about how his mom was his toughest critic and it had to do not with his playing but his "choreography" and stage persona, and his facial expressions. I doubt that Dave can help it; he just looks cranky but I doubt he is.....he's just cares about the music too much.

[@brianbrinkman3663]

@@johnmaer Interesting to know he's already discussed it! Thanks for sharing the anecdote.

[@nicolasderuiter1699]

What I notice is that Ritenour seems to gravitate to the "super cool" rhythm section and turn a bit of a shoulder to his less trendy piano player. After 35:00, Ritenour seems a bit condescending as he allows Grusin to play one more solo piano tune. Grusin is killa

[@pallhe]

@@nicolasderuiter1699 Yeah, on the other hand, it's natural to gravitate towards the rhythm section when you want to play in time and get in the groove. I sometimes find myself right in front of the kick drum when I'm focusing on locking in with the beat. But you're right that Grusin is a killa.

[@Rikk303]

I always thought 5 strings was one too many for a bass, then there was this. Build more roads, make more traffic and clog everything up. Mark King was spanking the ass off of a Jazzmaster nearly 40 years ago and the Spectrum rip-off....dear me..did you really think you could get away with that? Apart from the odd flash here and there, this was a really boring, lifeless gig.
