Piano, Strings And Moonlight - The Many Moods Of Dave Grusin (digipack Edition)

NEWLY REMASTERED STEREO 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED DIGIPACK One of the reasons for the success of this 1962 album is the excellence of Dave Grusin s arrangements for eleven violins, two violas, two cellos, bass and drums. While making this album, Dave says, I saw no reason why nice harmonic changes could not be played by strings. I saw no reason why the string writing could not be a little more complicated than it usually is for albums of this type. And with the freedom Bob [Robert Mersey, the album s producer] gave me, I wrote and played exactly what I wanted. Mersey observes that with Dave s arrangements, the strings simply become an extension of the piano. In this album Grusin showed that he has a deft, sensitive touch, inventiveness and exceptionally good taste.
