Biography of Dave GrusinBorn in Littleton, Colorado on June 26, 1934, Dave Grusin has made a name for himself asa composer of film scores, record producer, and fusion keyboardist. After graduating fromLittleton High School in Denver, Colorado, he attended the University of Colorado at Boulderwhere he received a bachelor of music in piano performance. He had planned on remaining inColorado to work on graduate studies until Warner Imig, former dean of music at the Universityof Colorado at Boulder, convinced him to move to a city with more musical opportunities. In1959 Mr. Grusin moved to New York City to pursue graduate studies at the Manhattan School ofMusic. He withdrew from the school, however, because he was given the opportunity to work asa keyboardist and music director for the Andy Williams Show. Because of this appointment hewas able to get into composing for television and film, and composed his first film score, DivorceAmerican Style, in 1965. During this time he also recorded as a keyboardist with the BennyGoodman Quintet, Milt Hinton, Don Lamond, Thad Jones, and Frank Foster.
Having become firmly established as an arranger, composer, and keyboardist, his musicalcareer became an eclectic mix of recording, performing, composing, and producing. He formed,along with Larry Rosen, in 1978, the GRP record label that specialized in fusion inspired jazz.Until 1982, when the label housed such performers as Dave Valentin, Billy Cobham, Earl Klugh,and Lee Ritenour, it was distributed by Arista. In 1990 it became a part of MCA and took chargeof all of MCA’s jazz material, including the Impulse! label and classic Decca Reissues. Thelabel’s new sessions have involved great jazz musicians such as: Dizzy Gillespie, Chick Corea,Gerry Mulligan, Gary Burton, Michael Brecker, and Arturo Sandoval. In 1994, Grusin retiredfrom his executive position, although he has remained a consultant and performer.
During the time when he was involved with GRP, he was still a very active film composer. Hehas composed numerous film scores, and has been nominated for four Acadamy Awards:Heaven can Wait, The Champ, On Golden Pond, and Tootsie. In 1989 he won the Oscar forThe Milagro Beanfield War. In addition, he has won numerous Grammy Awards for his score toThe Graduate, and for his recordings NY/LA Dream Band and Harlequin. About his incrediblybusy schedule and juggling of careers Grusin says, “I enjoy it all, but it always seems that after a

film I can’t wait to get back to the recording studio because by then, recording seems so simpleby comparison. But then the opposite is true at the end of an album.”
Dave Grusin’s hard work has left him a niche in music history as a composer of film andtelevision soundtracks and original jazz compositions, as a recording artist and keyboardist, asa producer, and as an avid defender of jazz fusion. In 1988 he received an honorary doctoratefrom the Berkley College of Music. In 2003, he travels between his homes in New York City, NY,Santa Fe, NM, and Montana, and he continues to compose, record and perform.
