On June 26, 1934, Dave Grusin, an American jazz composer and pianist, was born. He is also known for composing film scores. He received several awards, among others the Oscar for best score in 1989 for the soundtrack of the film The Milagro Beanfield War (Rebelião em Milagro) by Robert Redford, with the Brazilian Sônia Braga.

[@rayjr.9187]

My Dear God, if more people would listen and pay attention to this type of music and look at and just watch these great artists think where we could be.

[@juanjotm4821]

Yes I agree with you rayjr.9187. Just consider that there´s no more option: ! 1. to listen to good music and 2. to listen to trash music. Just people with sensibility is capable to distinguish and to choose the best. And this music from the excellent artists: Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin, belong to the good music choice. And I would say: Is more than good. Is Celestial music. Congratulations to you for this choice !. I´m a jazz --fan from Mexico City. I love the jazz since 1987 with George Benson with his: Lady from the L.P: Breezin. and Dave Grusin with his. "She could be mine" from the: Out of the Shadows L:P. see you soon ! God bless you.

Tq nice info ya

[@dennylibertario2246]

Sonny is indeed one of Lee's best drummers and he's played with a few, especially the great Carlos Vega, but Sonny makes Lee's decision to drag along his son Wesley as part of the musical tag-team is more about nepotism than musicianship. You can't get any better than Sonny in terms of chops, in the pocket groove, and strong, consistent backbeat. Go listen to recent concerts, hear son Wesley, and then come back to this performance.

[@djjosh_yfdj]

I never get tired of this concert💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

One of the best live concerts I have ever watched! The comradery on stage was amazing to see. 4 world class musicians at the top of their game...just freaking fantastic!

Grusin and Rit are 2 of the heavyweights in the industry. These cats have been great forever. I adopted this musical taste from my mother back in Pittsburgh in the early 70's. She is now 75 and we still listen to this style today

Actually, thanks to KZbin, I just came across the man and WoW!

[@romansate2854]

Fred Stuckmann Yeah they do! Sonny, as usual, packs the groove with crystalline clear cymbal work, snappin' snare and boppin' BD bombs all mixed into undeniably emotive phrasing with the band! He tastefully supports everyone else collectively and individually.

[@johnmaer]

I agree of course and therefor am interested in whether anyone has seen Lee perform with his son on drums/percussion? Have chance to see him next week.

Awesome players, great playing, and great songs. There is going to be a gap in the jazz world when these guys retired. Larry Carlton is already semi retired and having health issues. Though there are a lot of younger jazz artists out there, getting the recognition and support from labels will be a very big uphill challenge.

They are a highly politicized and spin doctored social media outlet, with an arrogant opinion of themselves, and a condescending attitude toward the art and artists they hold themselves out as knowing and having professional insight on. It is hilarious; plus, they've become nothing but an outlet for radical, leftist, drivel and lies, even worse. Their writers once ridiculed both The Beatles and solo albums of Paul McCartney. They suck-up to artists who have kissed their ass in the past. I love them.
