  1. I've just uploaded a review of Bob Belden's excellent jazz score for Three Days of Rain:

    http://reelmusic.wordpress.com/2011/11/ … ob-belden/

    It is an excellent listen. I recommend you at least listen to the samples.

    will do
    listen to more classical music!
  3. After hearing Three Days of Rain I wanted to try and expand my experience with jazz scores, so I now have the following titles to listen to:

    Des Femmes Disparaissent - Art Blakey
    Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud - Miles Davis
    Alfie - Sonny Rollins
    College Confidential - Dean Elliot
    The Fugitive Kind - Kenyon Hopkins
    The Hustler - Kenyon Hopkins

    Should keep me going for a bit!

    I'm familiar with Alfie ( a very fine jazz score IMO ) and look forward to hearing your opinions on the others.

    As do I. Especially Ascenseur Pour L'Échafaud, which I really like a lot (his The Spook That Sat At The Door is very good too! And I'm not even much of a Davis fan!)

    I would recommend taking a listen to Three Days of Rain, Martijn. You may like this one.

    :fingers crossed:

    No. Bob Belden. But, apparently it is quite Miles Davis-esque in places.

    EDIT: Just seen your edit.

    The Bob Belden is a clone of Davis material.
    listen to more classical music!
  13. "Clone"? You mean a rip-off or just commenting that they have a similar style?

  14. I don't usually highlight when I add a "Ten Tracks Today" post to my blog but there's always a childish enthusiasm to share when I listen to my selection of TV themes. Maybe it taps into the childhood memories of the shows or the affection with which I hold a lot of these themes. Maybe it's just that they all tend to be awesome themes?

    Anyway, here's a link to tonight's selection of 10 tracks:

    http://reelmusic.wordpress.com/2011/11/ … mber-2011/

    Great themes include UK-specific themes for World of Sport, Superstars, Crown Court, some iconic themes such as Hawaii Five-0 and The A-Team and some lesser known ones such as Midnight Caller. Also there's a tune from Chigley. shame

    Clone to me is copying. I've heard several "Miles Davis Sound" trumpet players/ arrangements over the years.

  17. I have just uploaded some comments on David Mitcham's 2009 score for the BBC Natural History Unit series, South Pacific:

  18. Feel free to visit my Reel Music blog and read my new review of Benjamin Wallfisch's score for the 2009 360° production of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan:

    http://reelmusic.wordpress.com/2011/11/ … wallfisch/

    It's well worth a listen.

  19. I have added another review to Reel Music:

    http://reelmusic.wordpress.com/2011/12/ … erre-oser/

    It's a score written by Pierre Oser and was commissioned in 2001 for the restoration of a German-Indian film Die Leuchte Asiens (1925). Oser wrote the score for string quintet and 3-4 woodwinds (and a trombone).

    A trombone as the only brass instrument is an odd ensemble. I listened to a couple of the tracks and I admit it does work.

  21. Tom, I am pleased that you listened to the tracks.

    The entire film is on Youtube and I do recommend people watch it. It is interesting to watch.

    The unusual instrumentation is what got my attention

  25. It has been a few days, but here's a new review at my blog:

    http://reelmusic.wordpress.com/2012/01/ … an-sadler/

    It's a score by Brian Sadler of an upcoming online Flash-based game, Ace Pilot: Infinity Drifter. I thought that the music was very good indeed.

    I seem to vaguely recall some obscure TV movie having a solo tuba-only score; Shirley Walker I think was the composer.

  27. I am terrible at noticing when sections of an orchestra are omitted. Except when there is no orchestra!

    Great, balanced response to the negative poster, Alan! That's a textbook example on how to do it.
    I am extremely serious.

    Cheers Thor! I did have another response but that only came to two words, both of which were capitalized.
