Dave Grusin is a veteran film and jazz composer. His Oscar- and Grammy-winning film scores include "The Fabulous Baker Boys", "The War in the Beanfield", "Havana" and "On Golden Lake". For "An Evening with Dave Grusin" in 2009, he gathered the 75-piece Henry Mancini Orchestra around him, invited greats such as Patti Austin, Jon Secada, Monica Mancini, Gary Burton, Arturo Sandoval, Nestor Torres and Sammy Figueroa, sat down at the piano and led the whole team through a programme of excerpts from his work as well as from Gershwin, Bernstein and Mancini.
Popular classics such as "Moon River", tunes from "Porgy & Bess", "Maria", "I Feel Pretty" and "Memphis Stomp" from the film "The Firm" sound fresh in Ultra HD. An essential selection from Grusin's oeuvre, a large and splendid orchestra and excellent soloists: not only fans will enjoy this recording.
Ultra-HD 32-Bit-Mastering & PureFlection
This mastering format has been developed by FIM and Five/Four Productions. Five/Four Productions is made up of the former Telarc production team who wanted to be able to master the best possible sound quality regardless of the quality of the equipment. The Five/Four Productions team has won 16 Grammys and countless other awards.
It is re-digitised at 32-bit word length and sampling frequency to match the source material. Wherever possible, 192 KHz is used, but for some material, lower sampling rates can be beneficial to the sound. The Ultra-HD 32-bit productions can be played back on any CD player with outstanding sound quality.
The term PureFlection refers to the new way in which the glass master for the latest FIM productions is produced. Rather than being created as part of the normal production process at the pressing plant, the glass master is created by a specialist on a specially modified Blu-ray glass master cutting machine. The quality of the glass master is checked before the CDs are produced, and the new booklets contain the test protocol for this check. The result is significantly lower jitter and error levels than conventional industrial production and, unlike many modern productions, the resulting sound has an organic feel.
