Music Composed by Dave Grusin. Recorded in 1974. For information purpose only.

*Note the brief GRUSIN TOUCH @ 5:05

From my original fb / tumblr post: "Japanese instruments abound in the sparse action cue THE BIG FIGHT where the score plays AGAINST the picture; creating a surreal energy of its own by adhering loosely with the action on screen (featuring shakuhachi recordings done in Japan during the shoot, those were later regurgitated by GRUSIN who authored a coherent musical envelope; the final result, recorded in Los Angeles, including the talents of Percussionist Emil RIchards and Bass Flute Player JEROME RICHARDSON, is of such otherworldly character that it defies western film music. Except for a brief GRUSIN touch, THE BIG FIGHT ranks itself as a product of JAPANESE cinema)."
