I know the original piece well, and have listened to it many times.

To me, it's a little too familiar. Nothing against it; anything by Grusin is aces in my book.

But this version is a wonderful reinterpretation, revealing potential I never knew existed. I believe (but am not sure) that the arrangement is by Mr. Grusin himself, so if it is wrecked, it is wrecked by the composer.

Dave Grusin was born in 1934, and this performance took place in 2014, when he was 79 years old.

Rather like someone trying to improve on “Take Five”, but I was pleased to be reminded of Mr. Grusin.
