Teasing the Korean

Here are a few major ones: Bernard Herrmann - The Day the Earth Stood Still Bernard Herrmann - Fahrenheit 451 Gil Melle - The Andromeda Strain Jerry Goldsmith - Planet of the Apes Jerry Goldsmith - Logan's Run (The film may not be so great, but the score is brilliant.) Leith Stevens - Destination Moon Leonard Rosenman - Fantastic Voyage If we expand our list to include TV, I would add: The Twilight Zone (esp. Herrmann, Goldsmith, Nathan Van Cleave) The Outer Limits (season one, Dominic Frontiere)

I assume you are hep to Babs Gonzales and Ken Nordine. I would highly recommend Rhino's three-CD Beat Generation box set, if you can find it.

Thanks, all! Has anyone heard his work with Terry Gibbs?

RIP. I never really warmed up to his writing; it seemed to be missing an X factor that I seek in arrangers. Maybe I just never heard the right stuff. If I were going to buy one album, either under Holman's name, Kenton's, or anyone else's, which would you suggest?

Thanks. As I can't keep up with all these corporate mergers, is there a chance that unedited masters may exist, or were these either destroyed or tossed in an acquisition?

@mikeweil I have a question regarding the March 6, 1954 date, which ended up as part of the Ritmos Caliente album. These tunes are percussive in nature, and three of them are only around a minute or 1.5 minutes long. They sound as if the engineer just let the tape roll, and then someone subsequently faded them down prematurely. Is there any evidence that longer edits of these tracks could exist?

'Eastern Shores" by Thelonious Martin. @leftright

I have at least three of their albums. Don't listen often, but good 60s soul/pop.

You're generally correct, although every now and then, a decent composer accidentally gets a film scoring gig.

Yep. And like Pat Williams, he is underrepresented on LP and CD.

The Best of Gabor Szabo - impulse! (stereo)

The Fifth Dimension - Up, Up and Away - (Soul City, stereo) I don't listen exclusively to jazz. I like to keep up with what the kids are listening to.

I can imagine Pierce as Cannonball. Can't you hear him saying, "This next tune has a kinda Latin rhythm we call the bossa nova. Well, it's not really a bossa nova, but we think you'll dig this."

Rotary Connection - Aladdin (Cadet, stereo) Recorded in "Concept 12" stereo!

War - Greatest Hits (UA) Had this but unloaded it. Thanks for reminding me that it exists!

This track from the soundtrack to The Grasshopper, by the underrepresented-on-LP-and-CD Billy Goldenberg, has a "Memory Band" vibe. The track "Les Fleur" has had a presence in recent decades.

I thought Pierce was entirely convincing as a musician - I guess that's why it's considered good acting.

Claudio Simonetti's Goblin - Suspiria (Rustblade) A new recording of the classic Goblin score! On blue vinyl!

Goblin - Profondo Rosso OST (Rustblade) Half soundtrack, half live recordings of the soundtrack from more recent decades. On red vinyl, natch!

You mean the Sabu album? That is killer! It sounds very ahead of its time to my ears, like proto-bugalu in places.

Oscar Peterson - The woefully mistitled Soul Espanol (Limelight, stereo)

I have gotten to be friends with forum member @Stonewall15. He and I are both fans of David Simon's work, including The Wire. Recently, Ms. TTK and I binged another David Simon series, Treme, about Post-Katrina New Orleans. I found many aspects of this show to be incredibly moving, especially the segments involving the brass bands and Black Masking Indians. Clarke Peters (Albert "Big Chief" Lambreaux) and Wendell Pierce (Antoine Batiste), both of whom were also in The Wire, were fantastic. The ending of this show, from my perspective, was more feel-good than that of The Wire, but New Orleans needed all the feel-good it could get at that time. Curious if there are other fans of the show.

We have lots of coffee table books on art, design, and architecture. So many that I sometimes get depressed because I don't look at them often enough. 😿

I would love a Vespa or Lamborghini, but until then, I'll have to be content with using clothespins for attaching baseball cards to my bike's front fork.
