GRP's ally Dave This is a complete recording of the September 26th Tokyo show (second show) from Grusin and Lee Ritenour's 2008 Japan tour, captured in superb audience recording quality.

The setlist is incredibly diverse, ranging from early tracks like "Rio Funk" to "Echos" from their latest collaborative album, as well as jazz standards like "Stella By Starlight" and Jobim's "Olha Maria (Amparo)." This fantastic performance is captured in perfect sound quality, arguably the finest audience recording available.

And let's not forget the outstanding performance of the rhythm section, Abraham Laboriel and Will Kennedy. These two formidable musicians create a wonderfully comfortable sonic space with their groove.

Abe's father's playing on "Rio Funk," originally played by Marcus Miller on the album, is a must-listen.
