I don't so much like the soundtrack for Kenny Loggins' hit as I do for the REALLY hip writing by Johnny Mandel. Johnny's one of my favorites... and there's some great jazz writing in there if you listen closely!

An underrated, almost unnoticeable score (by the legendary Bill Conti) to a funny movie. This film has a special place in my heart because it was shot at my alma mater, the University of North Texas. Yeah!



composer: David Holmes

I'm a sucker for the "Ocean's" movies. David  Holmes' scores are a PERFECT match for the films. They are mod, retro, and extremely hip!

composer: Lennie Niehaus

It's no secret that Clint's films have great soundtracks. Lennie Niehaus' "The Rookie" is awesome! It's gritty, tough, and ballsy. It features and amazing trumpet section... AND a chance to hear the incomparable Oscar Brashear solo. Oscar is a legendary studio trumpeter and arguably one of the finest jazz players of his generation.
