Bespin 8,480 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 1 minute ago, Jay said: No. That was a joke I made, I understand what you are saying. There's only one other entry I left on my website, altough it's a known bootleg, but it's only to show that for some years, it was the "only" option for collectors. It's a thing about documentation, there's no science behind that. My website don't promote bootlegs, but in some cases, it's important to show that there were important "gaps" or "lacks". In Europe only Heidi [Original Motion Picture Score] (1968) (1995, Label X, LXE 707) Main Title; Arrival; The Alm; The Old Man And The Child; Dancers In The Night (Love Theme); The Sleeping Child; Meditation; Shadows; Reflections; Alone In Zurich; Love Theme; The Miracle; Finale ; A Place Of My Own (Vocal).

Jay 37,322 Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Here is the definitive word from the horse's mouth Quote Quote THUNDER ROAD??? I wonder what that entails. It was pulled from circulation when Bear Family tried to release it in 2015, as I'm sure everyone remembers. The trauma put Jim Doherty into a coma.http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=109084&forumID=1&archive=0 It was a bootleg and not officially licensed. We had been working with the Mitchum Estate and Frank Marshall, Jack Marshall's son (you may have heard of Frank -- he is the Marshall in Marshall/Kennedy and has made a few successful films). It took a little time, but the end result is fantastic! Jack Marshall is best known as the Munsters composer, but his other film work is truly amazing. Oh, and a little known pianist by the name of Johnny Williams worked with him.

Miguel Andrade 1,262 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 2 hours ago, Thor said: I'm guessing it would be WELL below 100. My guess is in the 50s at the most. We have charted what, about 30-40 so far? There's still a lifetime worth of research into Williams' piano sessions for film, tv and studio albums. I was not aware of Williams' involvement in THUNDER ROAD, however. Neat! I was thinking of sessions for television or film scores. Williams worked as pianist on a number of other projects that were solely musical. If we put all those together, I'm pretty sure we get more than 50 recordings as pianist.

Yes, if we include studio albums in addition to TV and film, we might. 2 minutes ago, Jay said: How many different feature films exist where one can hear JW's piano playing in the film? Features, not TV work. We haven't charted them all yet, so it's difficult to give a number. Particularly the years 1956 and 1957 have several holes; we KNOW he did session work in film and tv in these years, but we have very few titles actually confirmed.
