-Worth getting for well-chosen & well-played cuts of wide ranging styles: pop, rock, piano boogie, folk/rock, steel drum. The music is well cast and exceeds the caliber of the film itself. -Movie plot resolution seemed glued on and rushed near the end-but this superb music improved the show throughout-worth getting even if you missed the movie.

Got this CD after the movie came out ages ago. Loved it so, we used "Mitch & Abby" for our wedding processional. This is a classy, eclectic CD that will never bore you. Grusin provides amazing depth to his music with his skillful ability at the piano. If only he could do more work improving Hollywood's all-alike-vanilla-sounding soundtracks! Grusin is a master...thanks for the memories!

The music to this sound track was so moving that at the time of it's release I was home schooling our son & I incorporated it into his education at his request. We contacted Dave Gruisin's offices to obtain the sheet music, at the time we were told his sheet music was not available to the public and that he had never published any sheet music for the public, I begged and said we promised it was not for profit and within six months of that conversation, it became avaiable to us through special order through our local music store. We purchased the entire music for "The Firm". Our son learned & played "The Firm", "Blues:The Death of Love & Trust",Mud Island Chase" and "Ray's Blues" at his piano recitals from the age of 12 to 17. Our daughter who is now 12 years old is learning "Ray Blues".

This soundtrack is filled with outstanding music. The moment I saw the film, I knew I had to get this soundtrack. You can sit back and listen to this at home, or while you're at the office, or in the car. It's really a feel-good CD. Enjoy!

I have around 1500 CDs (rock, pop, classical, fusion, jazz, soundtracks, musicals, ie, a broad range). This is probably my best one!!!

Forget about the film, ad forget about most of the filler tracks that come between the piano playing. THIS CD IS FANTASTIC and worth it even for only one of the amazing piano tracks (my personal favourite is 'Memphis Stomp', but every one of them is great). This is not a film soundtrack, but it is a demonstration of jazz piano at its funkiest and most wonderful to listen to. Please buy this CD.

I love love love all kinds of movies and their music, so it's really rare that i find a soundtrack from one particular movie that stands out as a favorite for me. But I have to say that this is my favorite soundtrack of any movie. Grusin is a genius in his composing and performing. And the other artists that contributed to this soundtrack were just as outstanding. The only song on this cd that I could do without is "Never Mind", but everything else is stellar. I loved it so much I ended up seeking out some of the other artists' albums, and I also bought the sheet music for piano and am trying to master every song. If you love jazz/blues piano, you'll enjoy this album. (All this paired with a great screenplay and awesome actors makes The Firm one of my favorite movies as well.)

Jazz piano stuff is especially good. Very unique and smartly crafted soundtrack. :)

A lot of emotion in this music! Very exciting and suspencful at the same time. Like the movie itself, the CD is a real 'page-turner'!! Premium quality soundtrack!
