JEEEsus! the man is prolific! I knew he scored a lot of films, but did not realize it was THAT many, nor had I any idea how accomplished in so many areas of music he is/has been. Thought to share the link from Wiki about him. Whoever said a career as a composer isn’t an option was not thinking of this guy, surely.

What prompted this was that over the weekend I saw that Jaws was up on Netflix so I thought to add it to my “Halloween List”… (yeah, I know, not super scary but I am one of those people who has to watch horror movies in the middle of a sunny after noon with the doors and windows all open and all the lights on or else I get nightmares for a week… 😂 )

…anyway, I could not get past the credits without instantly remembering the slew of (then considered) “memes” about sharks and in particular all the reactions to John Williams’ score. I was little but remember all the adults around me losing their minds. Hard to imagine the impact of the film being the same without it.

Do you know any scores by him and/or have a favourite?
