jack's theme - from The Movie "The Fabulous Baker Boys"

Thanks to the participation of our friend of Youtube "shastasheene" which has made this wonderful video autumn. The Tune "Jack's Theme" by the Great Maestro "Dave Grusin" the improvisation and some changes naturally made by me:)
Doing good attention by the first chorus, it seems that Grusin composition would have faced "My Funny Valentine" but seen from another angle, or rather it seems that "My Funny Valentine" has inspired the arrangement.
Dave Grusin's version is available with a "Jazz Band",which I totally recommend to hear.

My version is available with piano solo (High Quality Audio) by iTunes, here:

David Grusin (born June 26, 1934) is an Academy Award-winning American composer, arranger and pianist. Grusin has composed many scores for feature films and television, and he has won numerous awards for his soundtrack work. Although he has worked in many musical styles, Grusin is often thought of as a jazz artist.

Born in Littleton, Colorado, an alumnus of the University of Colorado, Boulder, College of Music who was awarded his bachelor's degree in 1956, Grusin has a filmography of about 100 titles. His many awards include an Oscar for best original score for The Milagro Beanfield War, as well as Oscar nominations for The Champ, The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Firm, Havana, Heaven Can Wait, and On Golden Pond. He also received a best original song nomination for "It Might Be You" from the film Tootsie. Six of the fourteen cuts on the soundtrack from The Graduate are his. Other film scores he has composed include Where Were You When the Lights Went Out?, Three Days of the Condor, The Goonies, Tequila Sunrise, Hope Floats, Random Hearts, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter and The Firm.

For television, he was the conductor for The Andy Williams Show (19631965) and the composer of the theme songs for such series as Dan August (1970), The Sandy Duncan Show (1971-1972) Maude (1972), Good Times (1974), Baretta (1975), and St. Elsewhere (1982). He also composed music for individual episodes of each of those shows. His other TV credits include It Takes a Thief, The Wild Wild West, and Columbo: Prescription: Murder (1968). He also did the theme song for One Life to Live (1968) from 19841992.

About 35 Dave Grusin CD titles are currently available including soundtracks, originals, collections, and homages to jazz greats George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Henry Mancini.

Grusin and Larry Rosen co-founded GRP Records in 1982. In 1994, GRP was in charge of MCA's (soon to be renamed Universal Music Group) jazz operations. Founders Grusin and Rosen left in 1995 and were replaced by Tommy LiPuma. In 1997, Grusin and Rosen co-founded N2K Encoded Music (after renamed N-Coded Music).

He awarded honorary doctorates from Berklee College of Music in 1988 and University of Colorado, College of Music in 1989.

Dave is the father of music editor Stuart Grusin, music editor and musician Scott Grusin, engineer Mike Grusin, artist Annie Vought, and elder brother of keyboardist Don Grusin and sister Dee Grusin.

Hello dear friend... I was wondering if you would write out this song as you play it for a price? I would love to study it and as you know there is no written copy to be had... Thanks for considering this... Jaz

[Smackaliley]

Sounds like an awesome variation on when Jack was in the bar in TFBB.

[goleafsgo5925]

@PianistaItaliano - any chance of getting the written copy of this as well?

Thanks!

[goleafsgo5925]

This was such a great riff in the movie and never made it to the soundtrack. Thanks for creating this version. Any chance of doing the Michelle Pfeiffer version of "More than you know"? I am a big fan of your playing.
