About this album

Dave Grusin's The Champ soundtrack is a graceful, emotionally direct film score that balances jazz colour with orchestral sweep. Written for the 1979 boxing drama starring Jon Voight, Faye Dunaway and Ricky Schroder, it showcases Grusin's gift for memorable themes and polished, cinematic arrangement. Pieces such as the title theme and If You Remember Me helped give the film a strong musical identity, moving easily between intimate family feeling, tension and uplift. One of Grusin's best-known soundtrack works, it sits comfortably alongside the jazz-inflected film music that made him a major voice in late-1970s Hollywood.
