Thanks for the tip. I've been curious about this one on the last few trips to the record store, and now I know why...

Dave Grusin's best album to date by far!!!!
July 18, 1999
By: "A Customer"
I have in excess of 1000 CD's in my collection and would place this particular "GEM" in my top 10.The reasons are as follows: First, the selection of music tracks composed by the master "Duke" needs no comment from me.... all superb !
Second , the ability of the players on board to do justice to the Duke's compositions have got to heard to be believed...every arrangement has had some SERIOUS thought input prior to recording.And listen out for the bassist "Brian Bromberg" he's up there with NHOP , Brown, and company ..Brilliant!!!
And finally,if you're in the market for a new sound system in your home ,take this CD down to your dealer as I did to test run YOUR possible new purchase ,simply it's the BEST recorded CD I have in my collection.Put on "Satin Doll"..Turn it up and see if the system survives! Congratulation Mr Grusin & Company!!!

Stravinsky - Rite of Spring

Performed by Leonard Bernstein with the NY Phil, 1958 version.

IMO, possibly the greatest classical recording ever (performance wise).
