Condition

Here’s a Canadian pressing of one of the most influential soundtrack albums of the late ’60s, when Mike Nichols’ “The Graduate” captured the zeitgeist of a generation caught between conformity and rebellion. This Columbia Masterworks release showcases the perfect marriage of Simon & Garfunkel’s introspective folk-rock with Dave Grusin’s sophisticated jazz arrangements. The album features both the iconic tracks that made Simon & Garfunkel household names “The Sound of Silence,” “Scarborough Fair/Canticle,” and “Mrs. Robinson” alongside Grusin’s instrumental cues that perfectly complement the film’s suburban ennui. What makes this soundtrack particularly fascinating is how it bridges the gap between the folk revival and the emerging singer-songwriter movement, while Grusin’s contributions hint at the smooth jazz and fusion directions that would flourish in the ’70s.
