St. Elsewhere - Dave Grusin (1982)

"St. Elsewhere" was a single released from the 1983 album "Night-Lines" by Dave Grusin (born June 26, 1934), an American composer, arranger and pianist. The song was originally composed and recorded in 1982 as the theme music for the NBC television series of the same name. 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 most often thought of as a jazz or smooth jazz artist. Grusin was born in Littleton, Colorado, the son of Rosabelle (née De Poyster), a pianist, and Henri Grusin, a violinist who immigrated from Riga, Latvia. An alumnus of the University of Colorado at 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. For television, he was the conductor for "The Andy Williams Show" (1963--1965) and the composer of the theme songs for such series as "It Takes A Thief" (1968), "The Name Of The Game" (1968), "Dan August" (1970), "The Sandy Duncan Show" (1971--1972), "Maude" (1972), "Good Times" (1974), "Baretta" (1975), "St. Elsewhere" (1982), "The Wild Wild West" (1966), "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E." (1966), and "One Life To Live" (1968). About 35 Grusin CD titles are currently available including soundtracks, originals, collections, and homages to jazz greats George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Henry Mancini. In addition to Grusin's jazz, film work and other collaborations, he has also lent his talents as a producer/arranger/musician to numerous albums by artists including Paul Simon, Sérgio Mendes, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, Patti Austin, Dave Valentin and Sadao Watanabe. Billy Joel has also on occasion tapped Grusin for horn and string arrangements. Grusin arranged the horns on "Half A Mile Away" for Joel's "52nd Street" album, and contributed horn and string arrangements to Joel's 1982 concept album "The Nylon Curtain". Grusin and Larry Rosen co-founded GRP Records in 1978. 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 (later renamed N-Coded Music). This channel is dedicated to the classic jazz music you've loved for years. The smokin' hot, icy cool jams that still make you tap your feet whenever you hear them . . . Cool Jazz is here!
