This review is from: James Newton Howard & Friends (Audio CD)

It's a collaborative effort between James Newton Howard on the keyboard and Jeff Porcaro on drums. The album was originally recorded directly to disk with only one break.

I discovered "James Newton Howard and Friends" at a stereo store. I used it to buy my first pair of really good speakers. Now, I take this CD with me every single time I buy any audio equipment. It's still one of the gold standards of jazz for me.

This is a must have for all TOTO-fans. Especially those who dig instrumental music and ofcourse when you like the interaction between keyboards and drums (drums by the immortal Jeffrey Porcaro)! Thanks JNH.

5.0 out of 5 stars I had no idea who James Newton Howard was!, February 27, 2003

I found this music by accident on cassette tape in a car that was given to my father to use as a loaner while his company car was in the shop. I popped it in the tape deck, and was very pleased with what I heard. There are a couple of short introductions that make you curious, and then it totally starts to rock! Regardless of one's musical tastes, there is something for everyone. Each of the songs are intricate and appealing on several levels. The recording quality is fantastic, and sounds great on any system! this was back in 1986, and is still some of my favorite music today! It was later that I found James Newton Howard behind many of the popular sound tracks for movies and television shows!
