THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, written and directed by Steve Kloves, was first released in the United States on October 13 1989. The original soundtrack, written by Dave Grusin, was integral to the films' success. It won Grammy® Awards for "Best Album, Original Background Score for a Motion Picture or Television" and "Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals - My Funny Valentine". It was also nominated for Academy® and Golden Globe® Awards for "Best Original Score".
DAVE GRUSIN has composed for over 100 films and co-founded GRP Records in 1982, the label on which the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released. The music for The Fabulous Baker Boys is reminiscent of the Miles Davis album "Kind of Blue" and the cool jazz sounds of the Miles Davis groups of the 1950's & 60's. With its muted trumpet melodies and strong tenor lines, its many pedal points and altered harmonies, the score perfectly reinforces the shifting tensions between the main characters of the film.

THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS SONGBOOK is presented as a transposed score, with all ensemble lines and improvised solos included. In other words every note of the original soundtrack has been transcribed and notated.
