On this diverse and generally interesting (if not essential) CD, keyboardist/composer
Dave Grusin performs a five-song suite from his soundtrack of The Milagro Beanfield War along with selections by
Harvey Mason, his brother
Don Grusin,
Hugh Masekela,
Marcus Miller and himself. Other than the suite (which has a string section), the music is mostly played by smaller groups, with
Branford Marsalis on tenor and soprano a major asset on three songs and flugelhornist
Hugh Masekela taking a solo on his own "Polina." ~ Scott Yanow
