Guitarist

Dave Grusin practically invented the multi-hyphenate music career. He’s a jazz pianist and band leader. An Academy Award and GRAMMY® winning composer, arranger and producer. And, of course, the co-founder of legendary GRP Records along with Larry Rosen. This show brings together some of the award-winning artists from the GRP family for a night of contemporary jazz. Dave will be joined by fabled LA guitarist Lee Ritenour, “The Prince of Sophisticated Soul” Will Downing, trumpeter and flugelhornist Randy Brecker, sax man Ernie Watts, hall of fame drummer Dave Weckl, super-bassist Tom Kennedy and vocal jazz ensemble New York Voices.

Dave Grusin: A Life in Music

New Jersey Performing Arts Center

Spyro Gyra returns to the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre for two shows with Lee Ritenour! After two sell-outs last year, Spyro Gyra is back! Spyro Gyra is known for their stimulating live performances and knack for crafting danceable melodies. The group have issued a steady stream of high-charting albums like 1979's gold-certified Morning Dance. Radio hits like Shaker Song, Catching the Sun, It Doesn’t Matter, A Winter Tale, and Unwritten Letter keep the band an audience favorite. To date, they have logged more than 10,000 shows on six continents and released 35 albums, garnering platinum and gold records along the way. Spyro Gyra rose from humble beginnings in Buffalo, New York in 1974 to their current international prominence in the jazz world. Every year, they continue to exhibit how to remain among a relative handful of artists who will be able to say that they have worked constantly in their 50 year career in the year 2024. Their energy and joy in concert match their unmatched musicality.
