During this time he also recorded as a keyboardist with the Benny Goodman Quintet, Milt Hinton, Don Lamond, Thad Jones, and Frank Foster. Because of this appointment he was able to get into composing for television and film, and composed his first film score, Divorce American Style, in 1965. He withdrew from the school, however, because he was given the opportunity to work as a keyboardist and music director for the Andy Williams Show. Grusin moved to New York City to pursue graduate studies at the Manhattan School of Music. He had planned on remaining in Colorado to work on graduate studies until Warner Imig, former dean of music at the University of Colorado at Boulder, convinced him to move to a city with more musical opportunities.
