I ordered this CD immediately after seeing the movie on HBO. I was entranced by the 'city' feel of the music, especially the love theme.

I'm on my 5th pass through and am enjoying every minute...even the 'latin' turns.

Listen to this CD with someone you love..with the lights down low....and a bottle of wine...and plenty of time.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly excellent score, May 22, 2000

I have to disagree with anyone who dismissed this excellent film and score. Harrison Ford's performance was one of his best yet, and probably most realistic and heart-felt. Dave Grusin's score is top notch alongside The Fabulous Baker Boys. It captures the pain and obsession Ford's character is dealing with trying to figure out if his wife was pulling an act on him after all he felt for her and for how long. What a powerful connection between film and score! I think this score comes to show what a master Grusin is at creating beautiful yet painful jazz that not only perfectly captures the depth of the film, but also stands as an enjoyable listen on its own. Excellent performance from the quartet too! Haunting and beautiful! Get this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original "midnight music" score., March 7, 2003

I have most of Mr. Grusin's cd's and this is undoubtedly one of my favorites ("Two for the Road"-Mancini is the other). Regardless of how you did or did not like the movie, I think the music is terrific. The score also was uniquely suited to the film. Watch the movie without paying attention to the music and you find you can't ignore the extra layers Mr. Grusin added. I also love his ability to write great latin jazz as in "Playa Del Sul" and Aqui En Miami". I'm married to a jazz musician, daughter of another and mother to two more. We think this is NOT elevator music. This is not a hot jazz album with lots of improvisation, but a a great jazz score. Mr. Grusin continues Msncini's tradition of using the best of jazz in scores. I am grateful for his talent.
