Columbus Jazz Orchestra's "A Night at the Movies" featuring Dave Grusin January 14, 2011

Grammy Award-winning film composer Dave Grusin joins the CJO in a night of music from the movies.

From Mancini favorites "The Pink Panther Theme" and "Baby Elephant Walk" to movie classics like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "As Time Goes By," we'll revisit some of the most memorable movie music ever written. One of the top ten film scorers of his generation, Dave Grusin is possibly even more renowned as a jazz artist, pianist and conductor. The eminent producer director Sydney Pollack, with whom he had collaborated on nine films, had summed it up succinctly with the words, "he can do anything, and he has done everything."
