Dave Grusin Not Enough Time
"DAVE GRUSIN: NOT ENOUGH TIME" is a Feature Length Documentary Film about the adventure-filled life and extraordinary career of composer Dave Grusin.
Directed By Barbara Bentree. Produced By Barbara Bentree, John Rangel. Co-Produced by Nick Heizman and Robin Heizman.
"DAVE GRUSIN: NOT ENOUGH TIME" is Directed and Produced by two jazz musicians, Barbara Bentree and John Rangel. Their signature approach is described as "musicians making films about musicians." It takes a musician to ask questions that make sense for composers, producers, and other musicians. It takes a musician to have in-depth conversations with other musicians about the past, present and future of the music and film industries. And it also takes a musician to put together a sequence of music concepts in a film that is accurate and compelling.
Bentree and Rangel bring a lifetime of musical experience into their work as filmmakers. The Director, Barbara Bentree, has been a Storyteller for years; producing her own films, working on network television and film productions, as well as writing original stage plays, books and screenplays. Co-producer John Rangel, has played the piano onstage with Dave Grusin in concert, and he has performed all over the world in some of the most prestigious jazz festivals as a pianist and composer. Rangel has also worked in the television and film industries, primarily in music production.
This duo brings a wide range of experience and passion to this film project. As Bentree says, "I have been a fan of Dave Grusin for 40 years and yet I have been surprised by new information about Dave on a daily basis."
The motivation of these producers for bringing Dave Grusin's story to the film format is personal. "We want to change the face of documentaries about musicians...especially jazz musicians. Dave Grusin is one of the most hardworking and accomplished musicians of the past fifty years. A film tribute to his incredible body of work and a retrospective of Grusin's massive contribution to the film and music industries is way overdue.

 Dave Grusin : 10 Grammy Awards, 1 Oscar and so many nominations  ROBERT DAVID "Dave" GRUSINDave Grusin grew up as the son of a Latvian immigrant in rural Colorado and spent his early years training to be a cowboy. However, his father strongly encouraged him to seriously study music...so he did. A timely audition after college led Dave to playing piano, arranging music, and eventually becoming a Music Director on "The Andy Williams Show" in Los Angeles. The connection to Andy Williams led to a long series of incredible music introductions. Dave quickly became one of the most sought after TV music writers for shows like "Maude" "Good Times," "It Takes A Thief" "Dan August" and "St. Elsewhere" to name but a few. In the mid 1970's, Dave moved to NYC and reconnected with his old friend Larry Rosen. Soon they were producing records together and developing the signature Grusin-Rosen sound. Their partnership led to the formation of GRP RECORDS, the best-selling jazz label in the music industry for five consecutive years. Because of their groundbreaking work in sound design and digital recording, GRP led the way to completely transform the music industry. GRP grew to dominate the Jazz Music Awards, receiving eighty Grammy Nominations. Grusin's signature hit song "Mountain Dance" broke new sales records and led to a whole new music genre called Contemporary or Fusion Jazz. Dave also became a first-call Arranger and Performer on numerous pop artists' projects; Billy Joel, Chaka Khan, Brazil '66, Peggy Lee, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Al Jarreau, Judy Collins, Quincy Jones, Stephen Bishop, and Patti Austin were only a few who called on Dave to create musical arrangements and play the piano on their albums. And also during this time, Grusin was performing his original music in concert and touring the world as part of the NY/LA GRP ALL-STARS. Dave Grusin's ultimate goal has always been writing music for Film. Living a completely bicoastal life, he began scoring major feature films; "Heaven Can Wait," "The Milagro Beanfield War," "The Fabulous Baker Boys," "Havana," "The Champ," "On Golden Pond," "The Firm," and "Tootsie." These are just some of over sixty Feature Films that earned Grusin eight Oscar Nominations. In recent years, Dave's recording projects have become historic through critically acclaimed CD tributes to his heroes; Duke Ellington, "Homage to Duke", George Gershwin "The Gershwin Connection", Henry Mancini "Two For the Road", and Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story". Dave has also moved into new and different genres by recording with opera singer Renée Fleming and other classical musicians. The life of Dave Grusin is unbelievably prolific. Many people have no knowledge of the degree of output, variety of projects, and unparalleled admiration and respect that Dave Grusin garners within the industry. Because above all things, Dave is the most humble person you will ever meet. "DAVE GRUSIN: NOT ENOUGH TIME" is a story that will inspire audiences worldwide!
"Dave can do anything, and he's done everything."- Sydney Pollack, Director
