phbart 609 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Sad news. Expanded releases like we know today (SW Anthology) were made possible thanks to him. RIP, Nick Redman. https://variety.com/2019/film/news/nick-redman-documentary-filmmaker-and-soundtrack-producer-dead-1203111967/ KittBash, Once, That_Bloke and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,983 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 This is massive loss to us film music fans. This man did so much for our community and paved way to a golden era of archival releases. I've read before that he was ill but was hoping he can pull through. First Beth Krakower, now him... really sad. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,172 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I think the first time I noticed his name was on the Varese POTA album. I remember reading that he was ill, but I didn't know it was serious. Here are two photos I took of him presenting and interviewing Lalo Schifrin at the Vienna Film Music Symposium in 2012: RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Dammit, had no idea he was even that ill. He was a huge influence in score releases, especially some of my absolute favorites. RIP and respect to Nick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Damn, I didn’t know he was ill. Needless to say his name graces many CDs and DVDs in my household. Rest in Peace sir and thank you for all your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 He looked pretty crook on Facebook for a while, and Julie was posting about him a lot. They did a good audio commentary together on Baby Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Stef. I missed that. I know Nick Redman did a whole lot more, but since he produced the first ever expanded Williams release, one that's still regarded as reference quality in many ways even after more than 25 years now, I saw fit to open a thread here.

Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Very sad news. His work in preserving film and film music will be greatly missed. I heard a few of his audio commentaries and they were always enlightening and fun to listen to. And as mentioned above, he also helped set the standard for what is a great expanded/complete release. As much as he will be missed, I'm sure his legacy will live for generations to come, providing continuous enjoyment and (re)discovery of masterpieces of film and film music.

Popular Post thx99 1,740 Posted January 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2019 This is incredibly sad news, indeed. As I wrote on Facebook, he was a champion among champions when it came not only to film music but really, all things film. As with most folks, the Star Wars box set was my first real introduction to his name, followed by the DCC release of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The rest is history. I was privileged to have had dinner with Nick and his wife Julie Kirgo on a few occasions while visiting LA. Preceding one of these work trips to LA, a mutual friend of ours had arranged an introductory call between me and Nick. I was nervous as hell to speak with him, but he couldn't have been nicer and graciously agreed to a dinner meet-up in Santa Monica. Nick and Julie picked me up at my hotel in Julie's MINI. Nick kindly gave me the front seat (I being taller than he) and before we even pulled away from the parking lot, he handed me a stack of CDs he had produced/been involved with for Intrada and Varese. I was floored!! We ended up at a sushi restaurant, and enjoyed great food while getting to know each other through diverse conversations. Nick was very much an American. He said he never looked back once coming across the Pond. (As an aside, John Leguizamo strolled into the restaurant during our meal.) My girlfriend (now wife) and I also spent some time in Chicago with Julie and Nick during the wedding weekend for our mutual friend. Here I am standing behind Nick during one of our breakfasts together: Our mutual friend had arranged for a film music "Name that Tune" game during the rehearsal dinner, and I and the other gentleman pictured above teamed up against Julie and Nick. We had the distinct honor of besting Julie and Nick in the game, and it became a running joke whenever we spoke after that. Nick was so very warm and direct, albeit somewhat quiet, and I found myself trying to make him laugh because he really lit up when he did so. His knowledge and passion for film and film music was unparalleled, yet he was never boastful. His love for Julie was evident. They were a perfect match, personally and professionally. He made an incredibly positive impact on my life beyond the many projects in which he was involved, even though I certainly didn't know him as well as others here on JWFAN and elsewhere. RIP Nick.

kenkraly2004 27 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So sad Nick Redman has passed away. 1st heard his name on The Star Wars Trilogy Anthology and RCA Victor Star Wars Trology Special Edition Soundtrack Releases plus the many scores and soundtracks he produced for Film Score Monthly. He will be missed in the music and soundtrack producing industry. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
