Background -

GRP Records (Grusin-Rosen Productions) is a jazz record label founded by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen in 1978. GRP was known for its all-digital recordings and jazz-pop sound.

Dave Grusin, a pianist and producer, and Larry Rosen, a drummer and recording engineer, established a production company in 1976 that recorded nontraditional jazz musicians like Earl Klugh and Lee Ritenour. When they founded GRP in 1978, they continued to concentrate on this fusion of jazz, pop, and rock.

GRP was distributed by Arista until 1982. It was independent until 1987, when it made a deal with MCA Distributing. In 1990 MCA bought GRP, giving the latter use of the catalogues of Impulse! and Decca, which GRP began to reissue on CD. New recordings at GRP included music by David Benoit, Michael Brecker, Gary Burton, Billy Cobham, Chick Corea, Eddie Daniels, Mercer Ellington, Kevin Eubanks, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Haslip, Eric Marienthal, Gerry Mulligan, John Patitucci, the Rippingtons, Arturo Sandoval, Diane Schuur, and Dave Valentin.

GRP's use of Soundstream and digital recording contributed to the success of the label. Grusin's album Mountain Dance (1980) was one of the earliest all-digital recordings outside of classical music.

They also released the debut album of Cuban trumpet player Arturo Sandoval entitled "Flight to Freedom" in 1991 after he and his family defected from Cuba with the help of the late Dizzy Gillespie. The HBO film For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story told his story in 2001.

With Universal Music Group's acquisition of PolyGram in 1998, GRP became one of a series of labels managed by the Verve Music Group. Its output today is primarily smooth jazz under the moniker of Great Records, Period.

GRP currently manages most of the jazz back catalog that Universal owned before the PolyGram merger. The jazz holdings of ABC Records are issued on Impulse!, which is reissue-only. This includes the jazz back catalog of Famous Music Group, which ABC purchased from Gulf+Western in 1974, and the Arista-distributed GRP recordings, which is controlled by Sony Music Entertainment.

With the release of We're All In This Together, GRP throws down its gauntlet and enters the global fight against the AIDS epidemic. The album offers new recordings of Lee Ritenour, Diane Schuur and Arturo Sandoval available only on this compilation. Also included are tracks from jazz giants John Coltrane, Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald, not to mention Dave Grusin, David Benoit, the Rippingtons, Acoustic Alchemy and Spyro Gyra... ~ MusD
