In the fall of 1961, Dave Grusin, a27-year-old talented pianist, accompanist, and arranger for singer AndyWilliams, was signed by Columbia Records. He promptly made his recording debutas a leader with a trio album, playing a jazz rendition of Jule Styne’sBroadway hit “Subways Are for Sleeping,” released on Columbia’s subsidiarylabel, Epic.

With a touch reminiscent of Andre Previnand accompanied by bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Don Lamond, he skillfullynavigates through nine of Styne’s melodies, providing his own interpretationsin this brisk and effective jazz treatment of the score from the Broadway show.

Impressed with Grusin’s considerablemusical intelligence coupled with an ability to swing, Quincy Jones, one of thegreatest minds in pop and jazz music, said: ‘Dave’s great —he has acomprehensive musical mind and a fabulous feel that lets him get funky whenit’s needed. Dave shows you that you can play with musical integrity without itsounding like vanilla.’

This Dave Grusin album was the first in along and successful career as amusician and producer. Above all, he has left anindelible mark as an accomplished film and television composer.
