Dave Grusin - Mountain Dance (1980) [Hi-Res]

Robert David Grusin (born June 26, 1934) is an American composer, arranger, producer, and pianist. He has composed many scores for feature films and television, and has won numerous awards for his soundtrack and record work, including an Academy Award and ten Grammy Awards. He is the co-founder of GRP Records.



One of the first all digital (DDD) recordings ever produced, Mountain Dance was originally conceived as a “direct-to-disc” project for JVC that was later released on Grusin's own (GRP) label (very similar to the Sheffield Labs projects of the late 70's/early 80's). It was actually recorded to the (new at the time) two-track SoundStream digital recorder, with no over-dubs or edits; multiple synthesizers were “triggered” to enhance the sound, something actually very common today.
