One worked with him at the Classical Annex of Tower Records and fondly recalls their conversations where he predicted he'll have a section in the music annex some day. He wasn't wrong. @karelm James Horner's brother mentioned Classical Annex of Tower Records, but he wasn't sure because it wasn't very long. Please tell your friends to contact me. It's not too late to include their testimony. There's an online form on this page http://jameshorner-filmmusic.com/important-james-horner-missing-pieces-and-a-book/ or by e-mail.

Thor 7,517 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I wasn't even aware James Horner had a brother. Many of the things your project will teach me, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first composition teacher also went to high school with him and Carrie Goldsmith and similarly remembers him from that period. It sounded like he was pursuing/wished to pursue Carrie and who knows how much of that was because her dad was a super famous composer.

Buy the books and read them to find out! Please let there be e-book versions. With my eyesight, I like the ability to enlarge the font size that e-books allow.

thestat 348 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Nah, much as I love JH, when JG did a logo, he did a logo. Tyler's terribly pointless reinterpretation (or whatever you might call it) makes this point - who needs sampled choir and dodgy syncophated snare drums for the same bit of music?!

Sylvan 10 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Varese’s encore CD of VIBES is available on eBay for $5 including shipping for those who may have missed it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/386271628474 Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,517 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Including shipping for those who live in the US, one should specify. For the rest of us, it comes up as a whopping $23 for shipping. I didn't like VIBES back in the day, but after a recent reassessment of Horner's 80s efforts, I've come to appreciate it a lot more. Not enough to buy it on physical format for $28, but definitely worth it for US Horner fans who miss it in their collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jean-Baptiste Martin 254 Posted Monday at 10:12 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 10:12 PM I don't want to launch pre-orders if the book isn't 100% finished, to avoid a long wait between the end of pre-orders and the shipping. The book is 99.9% finished. As I explained a few weeks ago on FSM, I'm waiting for authorization to publish images of recording sessions. I need the studio's permission. They've asked me to send them the chapter. I did so in September. Last week I received my chapter with the requested changes. So things are moving ahead! I hope to launch pre-orders in May.
