[Fmpro] FMPRO Digest, Vol 37, ala JW

[Mark Henderson]

John,

The themes are very cool, but I have to also admit that one of my good  
friends and z former bandmate from college, Dan Higgins, is playing  
all the alto sax parts for this. Dan and I played together at North  
Texas in the late 70's and Dan went on to become a top studio player  
in LA. We've stayed in touch and he was telling me about this very  
"challenging" score that he was featured on for the movie so I had to  
go buy it. When you see the film I think the music is even cooler  
relative to video than by itself, but J Williams ended up rescoring it  
as a self standing piece of music that they have performed around the  
west coast with local orchestras, so the music can stand handily on  
its own. Again, your methods may vary....
