Dave Grusin, Tom Scott & Lee Ritenour - An Actor's Life • 1987 [HQ AUDIO]

[@robertomartin59]

This song kept me going through a tough time. Several years ago, my 18 month boy had major health problems that required at least a dozen hospitalizations. Thankfully the brilliant NHS were able to help. There were nights in those months when we didn't sleep. I'd walk into work very early in the cold, crisp air, listening to this to raise my spirits and take every day as it came. Music can heal and give hope. This was a tonic to me during that period. Thanks Dave Grusin. Wishing you well.

This piece is an art when the music was music and values was high and was more appreciations. God bless your heart and family

[@tombsower6926]

NHS killed so many a good man and maimed many more

[@Ghostrick74]

This song should be played in everyone's head in the morning when we get up

Ladies & Gentlemans: Mr. Grusin, Mr. Ritenour & Mr. Scott, the MUSIC is served. Thanks guys !!!!!!!

[@IkanGelamaKuning]

Dave Grusin is the reason I start listen to Jazz. His music suits well. Now I listen to any jazz, from classic to current.

[@electriko]

I start with the Barry White 's Love Unlimited Orchestra. That isn 't jazz but introduces me to this music genre.

[@hanswillithonien9933]

Ich bin 60 Jahre alt, aber seit etwa 40 Jahren ist das mein Lieblingslied. Vielen Dank an Dave Grusin und Lee Ritenour. Großartige Musiker!!!!

I am an Actor and this beautiful recording tugs at my heart string and brings me an inexplicable joy! Thank You...Dave Grusin!

[@saxyjones]

For God sake You Tube. Why put an advert in the middle of these great videos. Your taking the pleasure out of listening and watching these legendary musicians. It is also an insult to the musicians who are performing.

[@leongrinberg8758]

Because KZbin want you to pay

[@재즈피아노연습일지]

4:26 fantastic~~

[@ArturLapurinsh]

Bravo Mr.Grusin! Love 80's music,and Tootsie soundtrack.

[@joecipale1260]

I LOVE the bridge that builds at the 3:40 mark. Messrs Scott, Grusin and Ritenour were dialed in!

[@albertleung9283]

Dave you are forever the greatest pianist 😊

[@truefilm6991]

06:50 - this gospel-music inspired part is absolutely gorgeous. Even Lee Ritenour listenes in awe.

[@calystadwiharyanto7818]

This music keep running to my head over 20 years .... awesome masterpiece

[@iTkinBoris]

and almost 40 years in mine!)

[@oscargomez6438]

[@bosanpisan]

What a beauty ❤❤👍👍

[@alberttwo68]

From Tootsie the movie. Beautiful music. (Y) Love it.

[@ΛάζαροςΚαστανής-υ2ω]

My dream song...!♥️

[@jimstead1002]

Wonderful music played by some of the “greats” on their chosen instruments. Where are the new, up coming musicians? Is it lack of work opportunities, changes in audience tastes OR too many free ‘stages’ (like the Internet) where most things can be accessed F.O.C.

[@marcosotaviosouza]

O ano era 1990 quando me apresentaram o disco vinil dessa turma ai! Fui influenciado por Dave Grusin e a famosa GRP.

[@colourful999real7]

MASTERPIECE

[@scorpiochris3635]

Love this track makes all your emotions tingle with delight

[@juancabasa]

I love this music... Thank you 🎹

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

One good link leads to another. The shuffle play miracle that is KZbin circa 2019 just sent me this gem from thirty years ago -- unbelievable quality video from mere video tape! Three of the greatest jazz musicians ever to perform live together. Sax giant Tom Scott -- still with us, alive and well. His Wiki entry says in part: "Music director for the 68th Academy Awards in 1996, several Emmy Awards telecasts from 1996 to 2007, Ebony's 50th Birthday Celebration, and the People's Choice Awards telecasts. He has dozens of solo recordings for which he collected thirteen Grammy nominations (three of which he won). He has numerous film and television scoring credits [ ] and appeared on records by the Beach Boys, Blondie ("Rapture"), Grateful Dead, George Harrison, Whitney Houston ("Saving All My Love for You"), Quincy Jones, Carole King, Richard Marx ("Children of the Night"), Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Eddie Money, Olivia Newton-John, Pink Floyd, Helen Reddy, Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan ("Black Cow"), Steppenwolf, Rod Stewart ("Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?") Steely Dan, Aja Tom Scott and Lee Ritenour performing with Dave Grusin -- Dave's Oscar-nominated "An Actor's Life." Really, does it get any better than this? Thanks, Vadim Shinnik.

[@johndavis9641]

The quality of the audio on this old video is incredible - phenomenal mix and fidelity.

[@marsiano91]

Great track! ;-)

[@siyabongaericson3612]

this make me wish we can live forever in this world and listening to this master peace

[@eneasrodolfo8953]

Fenomenal

[@SrinivasMurty]

Brilliant!

[@guestplayerone5130]

that piano solo video vibe part was just groovin from DG!

[@antoniomonaco6705]

Love!!!!

[@AlisoViejoMan]

Always love Tom Scott’s smoothness.I first fell in love with his smooth style listening to ending of Family Ties every week. Dear Tom, please release the full version of “Without Us”

[@iTkinBoris]

Thank you very very much!!! I love this theme since 1982 and I was totally in awe of David's piano variations that weren't on the film's soundtrack

[@kevinmeuer8731]

What a trio & supporting cast! Nice, easy fret-touch on the Strat by Lee.

[@truefilm1556]

Wow! This seems to be a carefully done restoring. I only know the old vhs tape footage with O.K. sound. This looks much cleaner and above all: it sounds fantastic!!! Thanks for the upload!

[@horuscurcino]

It was released also in laserdisc

[@pacman071]

7:06 So powerful, I got really emotional at this part

[@RonaldCharlesEpstein]

A great collaboration!

[@frankofili5770]

Great instrumentals

[@ndemos045]

I only wish I heard this song years ago.

[@clairedelune2011]

Espectacular!!!

[@xenon2Merchant]

I always go back to @4:26 ...

[@tied515]

Anyone has a clue of the synth recipe at 0:45 ? Can't reproduce it yet. I don't recognize the model either. Anyway, what an awesome piece of music. I can't find anywhere a book of piano transcriptions of Dave Grusin's best hits, which is a great source of frustration in my life!

[@tommy320]

if you give me your e mail i can send you a few books that contains some of his magical pieces.

[@brucemoeller]

Ever hear an old LP called Alivemutherforya? Some similar tunes, great stuff.

[@johnmaer]

Anyone know who played the synth-keyboard-woodwind instrumentation in this live performance? Larry Williams?

[@Gaddus1]

Barnaby Finch

[@shedricksnell3502]

Could be Barnaby Finch...

[@johnmaer]

I evidently didn't see the credits or names of players that channel host/owner published. Sorry. What amazes me is that these guys were more popular and more well known in Japan than in their homeland. They didn't tour all that much in the USA back in that era. I saw them several times in Chicago with different players each time. An honor to see Dave Grusin. Amazing man, musician.
