A fairly typical
Dave Grusin date from the early days of GRP, this set features five of the keyboardist/producer's originals. The music is often atmospheric and a bit cinematic, with
Grusin assisted by the soprano of
Grover Washington and flutist
Dave Valentin (along with top rhythm section players) on two songs apiece; "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" has
Grusin's keyboards joined just by
Ron Carter's bass. The music is pleasing, but not too substantial. ~ Scott Yanow
