La GRP Records è un'etichetta discografica statunitense, fondata a New York da Dave Grusin e Larry Rosen nel 1978. La sigla GRP sta per Grusin/Rosen Productions. Già nel 1972 i due musicisti avevano dato inizio a una collaborazione artistica, producendo lavori di Noel Pointer, di Earl Klugh, Patti Austin e altri sotto varie etichette, tra cui RCA, Blue Note e CTI. Dal 1978 la Grusin/Rosen Productions, grazie a un accordo commerciale con Clive Davis, diventa una etichetta-satellite dell'Arista Records e pubblica una serie di album come Arista/GRP. Nel 1982 la GRP si stacca dall'Arista e diventa un'etichetta indipendente, abbracciando fra i primi la filosofia del suono digitale proprio negli anni in cui nasce e si sviluppa il supporto CD. Sotto etichetta GRP, Dave Grusin pubblica Mountain Dance, uno dei primissimi album di musica non classica prodotti con tecnologia interamente digitale (DDD).
