Fusion legends Dave & Don Grusin and Lee Ritenour need no introduction. While on tour with their all star band "The Hang" through Europe, they recorded this intimate, purely acoustic set in Munich, reflecting the more classically oriented crossover projects Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin did together, for example on the album "Amparo".
